There are various kinds of form where people can find humor. People can find different things funny on the internet, television, or even in newspapers. For example, Comedy Central is a television station which has multiple shows that involve stereotypes, crude humor and several forms on comedy. There are parodies and even stand up comics. I do believe that these comedians are seen as humorous due to their ability to talk about sensitive subjects, such as race and stereotypes, with comfort. Comedians have the ability to even push the boundaries and even make jokes on a topic that is so sensitive. Take Dave Chapelle for example, he speaks about all topics. Drugs, gender roles and even racial stereotypes are just some of the subjects he points out in his jokes. There was actually an episode where they interviewed the viewers of Chapelle Show. Some of the viewers felt as though the jokes mentioned in his parodies were completely disrespectful and derogatory. Other viewers actually thought that the show was some what appropriate. The jokes made were just topics that people never really want to speak about, due to the fact that it’s a sensitive subject. Dave Chapelle just made these things funny and more comfortable to speak about.
This video shows Barack Obama roasting on Donald Trump as an act of friendly revenge. Donald Trump was on Obama’s case regarding his birth certificate, but when he finally revealed it, he decided to use this opportunity to poke fun at “The Donald.This video shows superiority on the part of Obama because he has made a fool out of Donald Trump who I assumed would expect Obama to be revealed as a fraud since he was not showing his birth certificate. Obama gets revenge by showing his birth video, which is the opening scene from Lion King with “Circle of Life” playing in the background as a way to poke fun at Trump by showing a his “birth video.” He also pokes fun at his show the Celebrity Apprentice by bringing up a weird moment, which leads to Obama questioning his potential presidential election run by having a photoshopped picture of the white house which is made to be blinged out with a sign that says “White House: Casino, Hotel and Golf Course” in order to mock the many hotels and resorts that Trump has.
He also mocks Trump’s accusations by comparing his accusations of the false birth certificate with incongruity. He sarcastically compares the “false birth certificate” by stating that now that the birth certificate mystery is solved that they can move on solving “more important issues” like the “legitimacy of the moon landing” and “the whereabouts of Tupac and Biggie”.
His relief or purpose was to just have fun on the expense of Donald Trump. Obama poked fun at himself with the Lion King Opening for the birth video and also poked fun at Trump with the photoshopped picture of the white house. He did this to attack Donald Trump’s potential legitimacy as a possible candidate in a future presidential election.
