Top 3 Hilarious Moments That Showed Day 3 of the DNC Was Quite “Lit”
Like many of my fellow millennial democrats, I was too excited to watch day 3 of the Democratic National Convention last night. President Obama? Veep Joe Biden? Speaking tonight? I’m in there like swimwear!
The night did not disappoint and provided some amazing pearls of wisdom and hope for our nation. I would be remiss however, by not also mentioning how absolutely lit it was, and the comedic takeaways were everything! Here’s a few moments that embody my sentiments.
I’m sure we can expect plenty “Don’t boo, Vote” t-shirts along the way, coming to a local street corner near you!
1.Let’s first introduce President Obama’s hysterically, too-real call to action to the American people: “Don’t boo, vote.” This was a if not the top contender for best lit moment of the night. It also further cemented his I’m the President but I’m also about that life street cred. (You may recall previous allusions to this characterization of him, from a clap-back session last year when he defended the country’s defense strategy against ISIS and said “Folks want to pop off and have opinions on what they think they would do, present a specific plan.”)
In all seriousness, his plea, albeit hilarious, was truly a serious moment. Essentially it echoed that it’s not enough to be pissed off by The Donald. We all have a responsibility to do something about this nut and give this fool the boot in November. Until then, I’m sure we can expect plenty “Don’t boo, Vote” t-shirts along the way, coming to a local street corner near you. I’m here for it!
2. Another key player who had a blowout moment is someone that many of you may or may not be formally acquainted with: Vice President Joe Biden’s Swag.
For many of us, that man’s swag is no stranger to the global stage, however on this particular Wednesday evening, it was turned up to a solid 1,000,000 and took on a life of its own. A life so big that it deserved its own section in this article. As Kanye West said in his 2010 Swagger Like Us song “Swagger on one hundred, thousand, trillion.”
Likewise, Uncle Joe’s walk (or should I say stroll?) as he sashayed across the stage before giving his speech was everything! Somebody please call Kappa Alpha Psi and tell them to make him an honorary member. I’m willing to bet money that he was practically 2 strolls away from breaking out in a shimmy. Bravo Biden swag, bravo. We appreciate you.
Joe Biden somehow made one of the corniest words known to man, too perfect…dare I say prolific?
3. “Malarkey.” I probably haven’t heard this word since my 11th grade AP English course in high school (I’m a hot 26 now), but Joe Biden somehow made one of the corniest words known to man, too perfect…dare I say prolific? Here’s the quote, but you have to see the footage to get the full gravity of this Trump- slamming moment.
“Just listen to me a second without booing or cheering…I mean this sincerely, we should really think about this. [Donald Trump’s] cynicism is unbounded. … How can there be pleasure in saying [Trump’s famous phrase] ‘You’re fired’? He’s trying to tell us he cares about the middle class. Give me a break! That’s a bunch of malarkey!”
It was not only hilarious, but according to U.S. News, Google Trends queries for “what is malarkey” surged by 450% . Nuts!
Can’t imagine what goodies day 4 is going to have for us but I’m looking forward to it. Let’s go Hills! #Imwithher
