One of the things that has been continually funny for Saturday Night Live is how well the comedians on the show mock the Presidents and one of the alumni of the show who has now crossed over to the internets held a reunion of the past and current SNL Presidents on FunnyOrDie.com. Will Ferrell put on his George W Bush suit and invited Chevy Chase (Gerald Ford), Dan Aykroyd (Jimmy Carter), Dana Carvey (George H. W. Bush), Fred Armisen (Barack Obama), Darrell Hammond (Bill Clinton) and non-SNL alum Jim Carrey (Ronald Reagan) to do the same and they did. All of this was under the direction of Opie Cunnigham aka Ron Howard, who earned that perfect nickname on SNL 30 years ago!
So why did Will do this? Well it wasn’t to prove that SNL can be funny if it is on the net instead of on TV, but because FOD teamed with the Americans for Financial Reform coalition to urge financial reform in Congress including an independent Consumer Financial Protection Agency that will stand up for the average consumer. Did they get the message across to you? I am not sure if they did, but I do know they had me laughing and wishing that SNL was funny as that five minute webisode.
BTW Funny Or Die is now on HBO and you know what it is over 30% funny!
