Yahoo News 13 times Obama was the funniest (and coolest) President
Whatever your political leanings, we doubt you'll be able to name a US President as suave, chilled and friendly as Barack Obama.
Obama truly made the most of being elected President in the age of millennials, social media and viral videos. Okay, the next guy has "harnessed" Twitter too, we'll give him that.
With less than a week before he hands over the keys to the White House, here are just 13 of his best ever moments in front of the camera.
1. Mocking Zach Galifianakis on Between Two Ferns
Proving he can master the art of deadpan banter. Not a single smirk.
2. Showing off his soul chops
Somehow we can't imagine Theresa May serenading us with some Dusty Springfield any time soon.
3. Calling Kanye West a jackass
And his immediate realisation that he was being taped. Smooth.
4. Swatting a fly during an interview
Russian drones are getting more sophisticated everyday.
5. Slow jamming the news with Jimmy Fallon
We could genuinely listen to Obama reading the dictionary on top of The Roots playing some smooth jazz all day long.
6. Not being allowed to leave the White House grounds with Jerry Seinfeld
Appearing on Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee, Obama larked about with Jerry, but they didn't get very far.
7. Reading Mean Tweets directed at him
If they did this with the next President it would take up an entire box set after a day.
8. Getting Keegan-Michael Key to be his real-life "anger translator"
He loved the Key & Peele sketch so much, he took on the role himself.
9. Dancing like a boss on Ellen
Though saying that, he's not as good as Ed Balls.
10. Catching a fainting pregnant woman during a speech
Even though she was BEHIND him, his Spidey senses kicked in and saved the day. Well, along with that other dude who got no credit whatsoever.
11. Throwing shade at the Kardashians after his microphone was 'left on'
Just us, or is that the toughest crowd ever? No wonder Jimmy Kimmel looks terrified.
12. Stopping a baby from crying just by holding it
See? Superpowers.
13. This photo with Vladimir Putin
The ultimate death stare.
