Former President Barack Obama, the 44th US President, has remained one of the country’s most popular leaders, both in the United States and outside. Even now, the former president enjoys widespread popularity and is often in the news for some or the other thing. Part of his enduring popularity is his ability to stay on top of everything pop culture and perform unusual feats.
Part of these feats was the former President appearing on the famous Between Two Ferns comedy show opposite the Hangover star, Zach Galifianakis. Recently a clip from the show went viral and fans can’t help but applaud Obama’s wits and cheeky reply.
Hangover Star No Match for Barack Obama’s Witty Reply in Amusing Skit
Hangover star Zach Galifianakis is famous for Between Two Ferns, an American talk show. Basically, a comedic sketch where host Galifianakis subjects his guests to insane insults and brutal jabs over a few minutes, the show features several big names and celebrities.
Back in 2014, the show went one step ahead of its usual guest list and featured the then-current US President Barack Obama. While the Hangover star was just as rude and brutal to the former president as he usually is to his other guests, Obama shocked everyone when he returned each jibe with an even more brutal retort.
Filled with several incredibly hilarious moments, one instance featured Galifianakis asking a rather cruel question to the former president. But instead of being taken aback, Obama had an even wittier comeback that left the Hangover star speechless.
ZG: You said if you had a son, you wouldn’t let him play football. What makes you think he would want to play football? What if he was a nerd like you?
BO: Do you think a woman like Michelle would marry a nerd? Why don’t you ask her if she thinks I’m a nerd.
ZG: Could I?
BO: No, I’m not letting her anywhere near you.
Former President Barack Obama’s appearance on Between Two Ferns not only showcased his quick wit and ability to handle banter with humor but it is also a testament to why the public continues to love and adore him.
