President Bill Clinton celebrated both his 65th birthday and the 10th anniversary of the Clinton Foundation with multiple star-studded acts, but his appearance in a cleverly made Funny or Die skit was by far the best. Funny or Die is a site where people can post hilarious skits they've written and acted in themselves. Dozens of actors, including Steve Carell and Zach Galifianakis, have uploaded their own videos onto the site as well. This specific clip, titled Clinton Foundation Celebrity Brainstorm, is extremely funny. Actors Ben Stiller, Matt Damon, Kevin Spacey, Sean Penn, Kristen Wiig, Jack Black, Ted Danson, and Mary Steenburgen make up the "celebrity division" of the Clinton Foundation, and they need to come up with ideas that will help strengthen it. Stupid ideas fly, confusion ensues, all in all producing a very clever script. Ben Stiller is the head of the celebrity division, the only man in the room who seems to have all his marbles. The others are completely insane. Matt Damon suggests that they create a foundation softball team to build spirit. Sean Penn orders that they figure out who is continuously stealing his lunch. Kristen Wiig is the one is always over-excited and very naive, suggesting that they attempt nearly impossible things. Then we have Ted Danson and Mary Steenburgen, the two (disgusting) star-crossed lovers. He plays a complete idiot; she agrees with everything he says. Finally, there's Jack Black, who thinks that the Clinton Foundation needs a theme song, and ends up banging it out on his guitar, singing at the same time.
I started watching Funny or Die videos about a month before this specific clip appeared online (Warning: a small portion of the videos on this site include vulgar language). I love to explore the certain aspects of this hilarious site, and The Clinton Foundation video is on of the funniest I've ever seen. All in all, this is definitely a clip worth checking out. You're sure to be laughing very hard by the end!
