Obama's Elf (18 second video pun fun)

Amid at Cartoon Brew says: "London-based animator Michael Schlingmann (previously on Cartoon Brew) created this funny 20-second animated pun. The animation is perfect." (Thanks, Brandon!)

  The Cuteness…

  Very cute. And exactly the right length.

• [Mark Frauenfelder]

  Best video of the year!

• [curly su]

  This is the funniest thing I’ve seen… ever. Tears streaming down my face, in fact. I love it.

  I have an elf that would simply leap at being Commerce Secretary.

  Magically leap. And caper; she’s like that.

  Something I learned last year: these are called “mondegreens.”

  Here’s the wikipedia article.

  I have an elf that would simply leap at being Commerce Secretary.

  As opposed to Treasury Secretary?. Tim Geithner just looks like an elf to me.

• [Senor Schaffer]

  Frickin’ neo-con elves, man. Always playing the “boo hoo” card they accuse the Lefties of playing for 8 years.

• [TedJohnson]

  It’s just tragic how the demand for presidential elves has diminished in just a few short years.

  Just look how happy and busy Bush’s elf was: http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/flash/rumple

  I can’t stop watching this either. If only all 18-second YouTube videos were this awesome.

• [Art]

  Funny. Funny. Funny!

  Mark is right. It’s the best video of the year.

  Thanks so much for the laughs.

• [gnosis]

  Why can’t I stop watching this?? It really shouldn’t be this awesome (on paper).
