[–]mulligrubs 231 points232 points ago

It totally needs a skateboard as that has to be the longest, most uncomfortable corridor greeting ever.

[–]superatheist95 47 points48 points ago

Or a slow motion walk.

Slow motion makes everything better.

[–]Twl1 76 points77 points ago

Only if he's also buttoning his jacket while looking non-chalantly to the left, putting on sunglasses, and reloading a pistol, while several ladies with large breasts, low cut shirts, and poor bra support are flanking him.

Also somewhere in there explosions.

[–]superatheist95 20 points21 points ago

Can we get Obama to do something similar?

I'm sure that if we give this enough attention, he will probably get on it.

[–]Dynamite_Noir 30 points31 points ago

This would get us dangerously close to idiocracy's version of the president.

[–]Dr___Awkward 7 points8 points ago

George Bush?

[–]Dynamite_Noir 3 points4 points ago

He wasn't an ex pro wrestler that bore a resemblance to Hulk Hogan

[–]lol_nooo___okmaybe 2 points3 points ago

Comparing "W" with President Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho is an insult to pres. Camacho's intelligence

[–]GodsFavAtheist 6 points7 points ago

It would work if people understood that the president is human too.

[–]Zincorium 0 points1 point ago

If you think Michelle would allow that, I've got a bridge to sell you.

[–]8BitMunky 2 points3 points ago

And Bacon.

[–]theothernewguy 2 points3 points ago

And guarded by cyber-narwhals.

[–]MBSquared 4 points5 points ago

Then it would be a 10 minute walk.

[–]superatheist95 3 points4 points ago

....in slow-motion.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

He should have moonwalked.

[–]SarahC 4 points5 points ago

The skateboard, and the door kick, are both here:

[–]AuDBallBag 4 points5 points ago

I wonder what other countries think of our president's shenanigans.

[–]JRWM 1 point2 points ago

That all of America isn't uptight?

[–]CptQuark 1 point2 points ago

America needs more people like him. Especially people in power.

[–]YKWDPM 1 point2 points ago

Well... since it isn't real... not much.

[–]Periculous22 2 points3 points ago

He's a badass.

[–]pascalbrax 0 points1 point ago

He's funny, and is not as dumb as the former italian Berlusconi.

Too bad it's just CGI.

[–]MarshManOriginal 274 points275 points ago

They should have Obama as a playable character in the Tony hawk HD remakes when those come out.

[–]JELLYFISH_FISTER 34 points35 points ago

this is a thing?

[–]Actually_Doesnt_Care 20 points21 points ago

It should come with the original soundtrack.

[–]alternateF4 68 points69 points ago

it has "superman" by Goldfinger. that is the original soundtrack.

[–]Actually_Doesnt_Care 14 points15 points ago

What about other songs (Police truck - Dead Kennedys for example?)

[–]witebred112 23 points24 points ago

Jerry was a race car driver...

[–]kamenoko 7 points8 points ago

he drove so god damned fast

[–]F19Drummer 5 points6 points ago

Primus sucks!

edit: Are you kidding me? I'm getting downvoted? People obviously don't get it, so I'll explain.

At Primus shows, it's been a thing for a long time to chant "Primus sucks!"

I actually find Primus to be one of the best damn bands on the planet.

[–]TiKels 0 points1 point ago

never did win no checkered flags but he never did come in last.

[–]TheDreadGazeebo 2 points3 points ago

that's why they call it a union!

[–]tehvagcanno 1 point2 points ago

There were other songs in THPS?

[–]TheSkiFreeYeti 1 point2 points ago

That game is what got me into Goldfinger

[–]Hounmlayn 1 point2 points ago

SO HERE I AM, DOING EVERYTHING I CAN! Oh my, the many hours me and my brother spent playing that game just to listen to that song, and try to write down what we thought were the lyrics. For years we sang it totally wrong. Good times.

[–]dressiertugboat 0 points1 point ago

This is the main one I remember.

[–]Pacblu202 0 points1 point ago

I still listen to that song quite frequently. That has the best soundtrack of any game.

[–]TheMeatball 2 points3 points ago

It actually does have parts of the original soundtracks to the first few games.

[–]stackbab 1 point2 points ago

It should have an implemented mp3 player!

[–]CYRlX 2 points3 points ago

This is the best thing they've done for the series since THUG 1 and 2.

[–]Winkelkater 1 point2 points ago

not for pc... again.

[–]Dukuz 0 points1 point ago

It's gonna be download only? :/ I am on a 40 gb cap >.< Would rather buy it on a disc. And not to mention my ps3 hardly gets 1mbps.

[–]Roger_rabbit23 3 points4 points ago

He defies the laws of presidency

[–]ngneidig 2 points3 points ago

This would be awesome. Also, happy cake day :D

[–]JacksonFish 0 points1 point ago

he's a playable character in a Mercenaries 2: World in Flames DLC

[–]willemdekam 33 points34 points ago

Like a Dutch Prime-Minister... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kEbZhOjgjdw

[–]doctorcrass 22 points23 points ago

he was a good sport about it.

[–]Apostolate 4 points5 points ago

Are you sympathizing with him? Never sympathize with the Dutch. There only two things I hate.

[–]EntangledMess 15 points16 points ago

People who are intolerant of others, and the Dutch.

[–]MBSquared 10 points11 points ago

That's cool he gave it a shot.

[–]Comrde 0 points1 point ago

I was expecting him to be faking the entire thing and rip the place up.

[–]pcdsim 32 points33 points ago

[–]Furlop 13 points14 points ago

The next question is: Where did Leno steal it from?

[–]SowjetKaffee 0 points1 point ago

9gag.com

[–]robvas 2 points3 points ago

Remember that next time Redditors gang up on Leno for being unfunny.

[–]guitartablelamp 18 points19 points ago

Leno definitely had no other part with this joke than telling it.

[–]MidwestDrummer 14 points15 points ago

So, you're saying that since Obama is the main focus of the joke, that makes Leno funny by default? You realize it was probably one of Leno's writers that dreamed it up too. Leno isn't funny. There's just absolutely no way around that fact.

[–]drewsus 7 points8 points ago

Neither are many of his writers, either. having the rare gem here and there does not make a show funny.

[–]Leetzers 1 point2 points ago

I'm sure he's referring to the show, not the person.

[–]djarbiter 1 point2 points ago

Yep, because I'm sure Jay fired up AfterEffects and edited that clip himself.

[–]Se7en_Sinner 592 points593 points ago

[–]TitaniumNation 209 points210 points ago

[–]jatanis 30 points31 points ago

I like how Obama's tie keeps changing color.

[–]perpetual_hangover 7 points8 points ago

genius sir. i salute thee!

[–]TitaniumNation 10 points11 points ago

I wish I had made it :(, it's been sitting in my karma bank for months.

[–]Trapped_in_Reddit 575 points576 points ago

[–]Asshole_Nord 325 points326 points ago

There you have it, ladies and gentlemen. Two of the greatest karma whores of our time, united as one.

[–]Trapped_in_Reddit 378 points379 points ago

[–]drfugly 117 points118 points ago

Please tell me more about how much it sucks to be a reddit celebrity.

[–]Trapped_in_Reddit 108 points109 points ago

Decent benefits, dental, free blowjobs from lower reddit celebrities, and I don't have to fan Yishan's Wong every Satuday.

[–][deleted] 54 points55 points ago

Since forthewolfx is a greater reddit celebrity, do you have to provide him blow jobs?

[–]thatguyferg 12 points13 points ago

That long silence is your answer...

[–]Apostolate 5 points6 points ago

How much karma does one need to get these benefits? My lack of a job is cutting into my ability to see a doctor... this rash is spreading. I tried to take this rat from a cat and I think I'm unwell.

[–]Sit-Down_Comedian 15 points16 points ago

Those are the lyrics to a Matchbox 20 song right?

[–]surfinfan21 0 points1 point ago

Have you done an AMA recently?

[–]countofmontecrisco 31 points32 points ago

Is trapped in reddit shitty watercolor!?

[–]danilll 13 points14 points ago

It's a conspiracy!!!!

[–]Calik 11 points12 points ago

He's probably Karmanut.

[–]Dr___Awkward 7 points8 points ago

Because there are only two people on Reddit, me and the guy who controls every other account, all of you are Karmanaut except for me.

[–]mappberg 1 point2 points ago

Wrong, you are karmanaut and I am not.

[–]MBSquared 0 points1 point ago

Those eyes just don't work.

[–]guitartablelamp 6 points7 points ago

yeah they look shitty (?)

[–]BallsackTBaghard 18 points19 points ago

Wait are these real? I don't pay attention to Obama that much.

[–]chonnes 42 points43 points ago

Before potentially embarrassing yourself by asking "are these real," think about a few things for just a second:

  1. Virtually everything the President does is scripted or planned.
  2. The President will always favor credibility over being silly.
  3. Everything the President does publicly has a purpose which increases exponentially in election years.
  4. The Presidents safety and image are paramount to his success and are the responsibility of his staff.

Now, knowing all this let's analyze:

  1. Would the President and his staff knowingly script/plan out a skateboard intro during a meeting in a foreign country that already has difficult relations with the U.S.?
  2. Does the skateboard enhance his credibility?
  3. Would a skateboard intro have any real purpose in an election year? For example, pandering to the gay vote or to the extended voters of immigrants is much more likely to have strategic importance versus trying to gain the vote of politically active skateboarders that have steady jobs and vote.
  4. Is a skateboard intro guaranteed to keep the President safe and enhance his image as a world leader?

More often than not, pixel analysis matters less than using your own brain for few seconds.

[–]poptart2nd 4 points5 points ago

TIR is a karma slut. karma whores care about link karma, at least according to the biggest karma slut, AS1986

[–]mappberg 2 points3 points ago

The biggest karma whore is that yam_up_my_vag person

[–]random_story 9 points10 points ago

Uh, the average person now has the technology to create false evidence of assault? This is not good....

[–]mikekozar 17 points18 points ago

Well, notice that the face doesn't match the body - It's a video of guy in a suit who walks up and slams the dude, and someone has pasted an animated Obama face over it. Notice the complete lack of reaction, how the face doesn't even glance at the target before the hit, or watch the target fall after. Also, the target is lit by a light on his right, and the Obama face is lit from his left. Once you know what you're looking at, it looks fake.

[–]Lamar_Scrodum 12 points13 points ago

That and it would probably be slightly bigger news if the president smashed someone's head into glass on camera

[–]mindcrack 2 points3 points ago

Good job mike, but you couldn't have done it without the visual basic GUI I built to track the lighting

Edit: corrected with to without, thanks Jonny_Stranger

[–]Jonny_Stranger 1 point2 points ago

You seem to be out of outs.

[–]babyslaughter2 6 points7 points ago

As a professional compositor, I can tell you that these were done by a skilled compositor probably using software called Nuke or Flame. It COULD have been done in After Effects, but it would be considerably more difficult considering Nuke and Flame's advanced tools.

This sort of thing inspires me to learn more skills so that I can make stuff this good/funny in my spare time. Rest assured, the average person can't do this. Yet.

[–]OriginalUsername1 1 point2 points ago

I'm pretty sure these are all from the tonight show with Jay Leno, so no it's not your average person, you are correct.

[–]FnuGk 1 point2 points ago

dat wink

[–]AnotherToothbrush 0 points1 point ago

Thats a pretty good fake.

[–]darkly39r 91 points92 points ago

If you look at the flag on the right, the stars shift when he walks away.

So, in case you are wondering, its fake.

[–]red321red321 69 points70 points ago

i was wondering and thought it was real. thanks.

[–]darkly39r 21 points22 points ago

My younger brother showed it to me and was convinced it was real. That's why I posted that.

[–]Apostolate 6 points7 points ago

Photoshop/CG is getting too good. I'm not going to know what to believe anymore.

[–]I_am_salad 0 points1 point ago

Don't worry. As technology advances, people continue to become lazier, so that the realism of any image may approach but never reach 1.

It's been proven as sound as Murphy's Law, though it hasn't got a name yet.

[–]Nickerz 12 points13 points ago

Thought it was real till I saw the pixels

[–]mikeorelse 4 points5 points ago

And seeing many shops in my time sure helped, too.

[–]ClemsonPoker 0 points1 point ago

Thought it was real until I realized that if this had actually happened it would have been impossible to miss.

[–]ColumW 4 points5 points ago

Which stars? I'm having trouble seeing this.

[–]darkly39r 2 points3 points ago

The stars on the flag. They are in a circle and slightly shift/morph.

[–]q00u 1 point2 points ago

He's talking about Se7en_Sinner's gif, not OP's gif.

[–]BracedPolecat 1 point2 points ago

only one can dream... only one

[–]iGotChubs4You 1 point2 points ago

Pretty sure this was from SNL so it's not fake

[–]juzcallmeg0d 1 point2 points ago

Technically, you are correct. The best kind of correct.

[–]Drunken_Economist 120 points121 points ago

[–]DifinitelyNotALiar 143 points144 points ago

Oh, now this one is definitely real.

[–]awk4ward 7 points8 points ago

All the black socialist muslim secret late-term abortion doctors that I know are always flaunting their cash like this. I don't doubt this one for a second.

[–]N69sZelda 3 points4 points ago

Someone please mod tony hawk 64 for me.

[–]CoriJane 15 points16 points ago

Don't you think that it's awesome that we have a President with his own hilarious faked gifs? I mean, no other world leader that I know of has quite the following that Obama does.

[–]ForTheWilliams 6 points7 points ago

Putin is famous in his own corners; /k/ is full of Putin-based memes.

[–]CoriJane 1 point2 points ago

Hm, I'll have to check that out. Though that makes sense, since I've heard that he's pretty active himself. But I always got the impression that he isn't liked all that much nowadays, what with the whole election fraud thing he's accused of.

[–]ForTheWilliams 4 points5 points ago

He isn't liked necessarily (at least not as a world leader), but he still has a following due to his ex-KGB, tiger-wrasslin', dolphin-swimming-with ways.

The things he does in his spare time...he's like Teddy Roosevelt mixed with Steve Irwin, who also happens to have a bit of a tyrannical streak.

[–]pascalbrax 0 points1 point ago

Shut your whore mouth and let us believe

[–]unohoo09 1 point2 points ago

His whore mouth? What about you?

[–]I_am_salad 1 point2 points ago

He's not a whore, he's a tart. There's a difference. Whores expect something in return, but for tarts the whoring is the whole point.

[–]drewsus 0 points1 point ago

"Dean Croshere, Food Processor in Thailand" doesn't seem to be the most reliable source to me...

I watched a documentary on body language, that during meetings like this, it's a big deal who gets to stand on the right and who gets to stand on the left due to the handshake. Whoever has the hand on top wins man points so typically, the host has their guests arrive on the right. Obama, however, has been trained to quickly put his hand over the host's shoulder in order to counteract this arrangement.
