And in case you are wondering, no, it was not Fred Armisen’s Fauxbama, an impression that is insulting not because Armisen’s not black, but because it’s not good. No, this, as most good things in comedy tend to, comes from our friends (if one can befriend people you’ve never met) at The Daily Show. They spend five minutes ripping into Obama, and they don’t even mock this guy.

No, the Daily Show mocked Obama’s tendency to pause (something Armisen, bless his soul, just can’t seem to get down) and not answer things fully. It’s because Obama is a real, flawed human being, sure, but it’s also a trend. They also get in some good jabs on hope (it’s dead), The Huffington Post, The Washington Post (who deserved it), and Elkhart, Indiana (who really deserved it).

And, of course, Stewart ends on what is always gold: mocking the talking heads of Chris Matthews and Bill O. Watch, kids, and enjoy.
