Andy Borowitz: Funny Dude

Andy Borowitz is a force to be reckoned with.


Funny dude.
Don’t get on his bad side.


We googled “humor column donald trump” and found this dude. His dry humor kills us and gives us a LOL. (Insert Nose Snort). He has a political point of view and likes to mock presidential candidates. Specifically, the more ridiculous ones.


You know who we’re talking about.


Yup.


Jeb Bush.


Jeb Hopes to Woo Voters with Ad Featuring Worst President in U.S. History



“The former Florida Governor Jeb Bush is hoping to jump-start his lagging Presidential campaign with a new television ad featuring the worst President in U.S. history, campaign aides confirm” (Borowitz).




He may also hold a grudge against ridiculous Republicans.


Conspiracy Theorists Say Republican Party Did Not Die from Natural Causes



“Conspiracy theorists believe that the Republican Party did not die from natural causes but was instead the target of an elaborately planned killing, a leading conspiracy theorist has confirmed” (Borowitz).


Andy Borowitz specializes in throwing major shade while maintaining a very professional tone. He uses elevated diction (credibility) and satire (funny) to get his point across, and even the people who disagree with his points must agree that he’s pretty good at roasting Donald and Jeb. Every day is another day to roast some Republicans. He seems to specialize in rhetoric and uses it to his advantage. It’s hard not to question your own beliefs when reading his columns, and that’s where you can see Andy Borowitz’s true genius shine through. While he does focus on politics, he isn’t trying to explain the gap between the Democrats and the Republicans. He simply focuses on creating a fun and funny atmosphere around a highly controversial topic and uses rhetoric to convince people of his hilarious standings on issues.


With the crucial New Hampshire primary just hours away, the Bush campaign believes it can finish strong by reminding voters of Jeb’s connection to a man who left the nation in smoldering ruins” (Borowitz).

Sorry, Jeb. At least you tried!
