Key & Peele perform President Obama and his "anger translator" in a farewell address
Throughout his presidency, Barack Obama has been called"No Drama Obama" for his lack of weirdness, his quiet steadiness, aversion to scandal and his famously calm demeanor.
Comedians Jordan Peele and Keegan-Michael Key (Key & Peele) have made good use of this during the past eight years, often playing the calm Obama and his anger translator, which is Obama's Id, the pissed-off version of the president.
Here, from Comedy Central, we have Obama and his anger translator give us a final address to the nation. Remember, the language here is TOTALLY NSFW, but it's worth the watch.
President Obama getting help at the White House Correspondents Association Dinner from Luther, his "anger translator"
At last night's White House Correspondents' Association Dinner, we had the usual sharp, weird, often funny political jokes bandied about in a roomful of people who really don't like each other.
It's an odd annual tradition, but it's fun and we get some good laughs from it.
Maybe the best I've seen so far from this year's is "No Drama Obama" spicing things up a little with the help of Luther, Obama's Anger Translator.
Like him or not, Obama is not one to start yellling and screaming much like other politicians. So we had Luther, played by comedian Keegan-Michael Key, telling us what Obama really thought as he discussed the important issues of the day.
Sometimes I wish Obama acted like Luther in real life. A case is point is toward the end of the video you'll see below, when he's discussion climate change.
The President gets hotter than the increasingly torrid Earth when going on about it.
You'll see why Luther sloooowwwllly backs away.
Maybe we should draft Luther for President in 2016. Maybe more things will get done?
You be the judge by watching this really funny video:
