You might have heard that groundbreaking comedian and sitcom star Roseanne Barr has ran for office of President of these United States. Compared to everything else that has happened in this election, it’s not that odd.

Director Eric Weinrib made a documentary following Roseanne on the campaign trail and it looks pretty crazy, especially when you take in the reality of a comedian actually running for POTUS.

Watch the trailer here, then look for it in theaters and on VOD on July 1st.

The viral nature of the Cold Steel ads for swords and knives were tapped into in the latest episode of No, You Shut Up! as cardboard cutouts of former presidential hopefuls meet their end at the edge of sharpened high grade steel.

Suffice it to say that Paul F. Tompkins and the NYSU team might have the Internet figured out.

During election years, presidential candidates are promised equal air time at a given TV network. If one candidate gets to be on air for a specific amount of time, other candidates can request that same amount of air time on the same network.

In a similar line of thought, Samantha Bee made sure to grill both sides of the aisle in their individual debates on last night’s Full Frontal.

As she has been doing since day one at her show, Samantha goes for the jugular in her jokes with almost no remorse and we can’t get enough.

Watch her latest breakdown of the most recent GOP and Democratic debates and you’ll see what we mean.

If you don’t have Hulu or a Hulu password, this might a pretty good reason to get one.

Along this 2016 election’s campaign trail, the presence of a certain Yugoslavian Mountain Hound, his precarious cigar, and razor sharp tongue come in at a kind of a perfect time.

Robert Smigel’s Triumph the Insult Comic Dog went and made an election special that’s not streaming on Hulu and might be as productive as watching some of the debates.

If you have Hulu, you can stream the election special right now, right here.

This is the election coverage we both kind of need and deserve.

Thanks to Funny or Die and the existence of Triumph the Insult Comic Dog from the mind of Robert Smigel and the platform of Late Night with Conan O’Brien/Conan, there will be a comedy special covering the 2016 presidential race hosted by Triumph.

Let your mind run wild with how great and off-the-rails that will go.

The special will be called Triumph’s Election Special 2016 and will steam on Hulu starting next month.

We can only imagine what Smig– cough– Triumph has to say about his name being really close to Trump’s.

As a great description of Donald Trump’s appearance involves a pumpkin, Josh Androsky took submissions for the best jack-o-lanterns carved into a representation of the Republican presidential candidate.

After picking his favorite, Androsky made sure that the eerie visage was in Trump’s sight by taking it near his very own building and then making sure everyone else on the street saw it as well be clear on Trump’s platform thus far.

If that’s not trolling for greatness, then you’re probably like the one Trump supporter Josh meets.

Bernie Sanders Is Not Boring

James Adomian wants to prove beyond 100% of at least 70% of a doubt that 73 year old U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders, currently running for President, is not a boring guy and completely deserves the votes of 30% of the younger demographic that’s 85% outside his current constituency.

James gave it his best shot here.
