Every so often, I used to go back and re-watch the entire thing. It was just so good.
I had to laugh when the “liberal media” was later spinning it the next day (and the hard right outlets like Faux and hate radio picked this up and used this spin - “see, even the liberal media says it was bad!”) as not that funny, it got hardly any laughs in the room, etc.
Yeah, NO SHIT many people in the room weren’t erupting in loud guffaws. He was making fun of YOU motherfuckers, too. Right to your smug little faces.
Just like Orange Jesus didn’t erupt into laughter when years later, Seth tore him a new one right to his face, as did Obama. Orange Jesus sat there, seething. Orange Jesus gave it 0 stars, boo, it was terrible, no more discussion. LOL.
I doubt it. Orange Jesus was already blowing the racist bullhorn with all his birther bullshit and Obama’s election broke the brain of so many Angry White Males. They were bound to rally around someone like Orange Jesus when he ran…
Seth Meyers still apologizes for that, sarcastically of course, but it’s hilarious that enough people blame his joke for jumpstarting Trump’s campaign. Trump seething from his table while everyone around him cracks up is burned into my memory.
I’m sure it makes a convenient narrative for people to blame Seth for this.
Again, notice that it’s another example of Murc’s Law here, by the way: as a conservative, Taco has no agency, he was pushed into running by the nasty liberal cracking jokes and poor Taco just had no choice but to run to get revenge against Obama, against Seth, and against any American that doesn’t love everything related to Taco.
In any case, Taco had mulled running multiple times and even tried to run prior, and failed. All that birtherism stuff he was shoveling during Obama’s administration was likely his racist way of testing the waters for yet another attempt.

I genuinely think Obama roasting Trump at the 2011 White House Correspondents’ Dinner changed the course of history
