In reply to the discussion: I love Jim Carrey but can't stand his Joe Biden imitation on SNL [View all]bullwinkle428
(20,631 posts)28. When "The Onion" did a series of "Joe Biden stories" during the Obama Presidency, these were
funnier than any of the stuff SNL has done on the subject of Joe Biden. Why, look - here they are for everyone's perusal!

WASHINGTONTaking advantage of the warm spring weather Monday, Vice President Joe Biden parked his 1981 Trans Am in the White House driveway, removed his undershirt, and spent a leisurely afternoon washing the muscle car and drinking beer.
"This baby just needs a little scrub down," said Biden, addressing a tour group as he tucked the sweat-covered top into the belt loop of his cutoff jean shorts. "Gotta get her looking good so I can impress the chicks when I'm cruising down Pennsylvania [Avenue]."
White House aides said that Biden pulled into the driveway shortly before noon, the chorus of Night Ranger's ("You Can Still) Rock In America" blaring from his car's stereo. According to witnesses, Biden spent several minutes maneuvering the Trans Am into the perfect spot, and was observed drumming his fingers on the steering wheel until the song came to a close.

SNL has never worked hard enough to develop their Joe Biden character. Satire needs some truth

I never like Sudeikis as Biden either. The senility character is just laziness I think.

All true. I think he's gained some wisdom more than slow down. He's not as quick to make wisecracks

He is such the perfect man for the moment, we are actually lucky he didn't win in his 1st time

Larry David's impersonation of Bernie Sanders is my favorite recent one.

I think there is way too much of Carrey and his mouth and not enough Joe in his impersonation.
