    So it's kinda easy, somebody wore the same suit and you can see it blend in when he walks out, as the tie gets out of the frame, the sleeves lack wrinkles all of a sudden. Then the head is just masked and tracked on top of the body. The background is kept empty at the end, so they could just track it and leave the background layer covering obama himself while they could greenscreen their own guy on there. Obviously, the doors also mismatch in colors, as it opens, it blends into the real shot of the darker brown doors.

    Seriously, if it's edited, then the person who made it needs to apply for a job at Lucasfilm. Uncanny smoothness.

    He was definitely memed a lot, but in a funny way rather than a sad and depressing way.

    Every shitpost I've seen of Obama has been absurdist nonsense where part of the punchline is that it's Obama doing it.

    Every Trump shitpost I've seen is based on things he actually said

    Obama was even in on the jokes and played along sometimes. Like that clip where he has a cookie that's too big for his glass of milk, and he muttered "thanks, Obama..." under his breath.

    There was a sub called r/ThanksObama for... thanks Obama jokes.

    The sub shut down after his cookie bit.

    Thanks Obama.

    JD Vance tries to do the same thing except he's like that one guy who tries to add on to the joke and then everyone awkwardly laughs and stops talking about it

    In all honesty the meme economy was waaaaaay less cynical back then. In fact, the edgelord era came towards the end of his presidency, go figure.

    I remember them actually retiring the thanksobama subreddit after he said it himself because there was no way to top that. It was a meme that actually lived a natural lifespan and died peacefully. A simpler time.

    He was memed and he was on the joke in a mature and charismatic way. He meet the mythbusters and made a joke about Honey Bubu one time. True gentleman.
