Once YouTube hit the scene, you immediately knew spoof videos of major celebrities, political figures and other notables were bound to be created, right?
Well, that’s exactly what happened and some of the funniest videos have been created in the last 4 years since President Obama’s election to office.
A host of Obama look-a-likes have taken it upon themselves to make parodies of some of the president’s biggest speeches over Hip-Hop beats. As for his opponent, Mitt Romney, they’ve done the same playing on his 47 percent comment and other press-worthy quips by the former Massachusetts governor.
Check out the 5 best President Obama and Mitt Romney spoof videos below:
“99 Problems” – Barack Obama
This clever spoof video takes one of Jay-Z’s more popular songs and carefully, as far as lyrically, matches the swag and bravado Shawn Carter raps in his own video.
‘I got 99 problems and Mitt ain’t one, Hit me!’
Even the video was shot like the typical rap video these days.
