Top 10 WTF Moments of the US Election So Far
#10: Literally Anybody Else
Are you disappointed, frustrated, perhaps down-right displeased with the current gamut of candidates across the political spectrum? Don’t lose hope, America– a third-party write-in candidate is here to save the day, as they are famously known to do! A disgruntled man from Texas has legally changed his name to “Literally Anybody Else,” and has his eyes on the presidency. To some, this may seem to be a desperate whack at fifteen minutes of fame and a couple hundred bucks in merchandise sales. But to Mr. Else, this is so much more than that… this is about democracy, and change, and… probably merchandise sales. And folks, is anything more inherently American than that? Good for him. Get your bag, Literally.
#9: Trump's Return to X
Say what you will about the man, but Donald Trump has one of the greatest back catalogs of insane tweets of all time. A moment to reflect on some of these historic posts. We all remember that fateful day– January 9th, 2021– when the former president was effectively banned from Twitter. Which, if you ask Trump, was the greatest threat to justice to take place that week. Fast forward to 2022, and Elon Musk– formerly-Twitter-currently-X’s new-owner-but-not-real-dad– reverses the ban, and welcomes Trump back to the platform. Since then, Trump has prioritized his own social media outlet, Truth Social. But in August 2024, Trump sat for an odd interview with Musk on X, and concurrently made some posts on the platform. This tanked Trump Media’s stock by almost half, as his supposed “return” to X spells trouble for the future of Truth Social. As the company’s key shareholder, this translated to billions of dollars in losses for Trump personally– an interesting business strategy, to say the least.
#8: Make America Florida
Listen– we know that Ron DeSantis will not be elected the President of the United States in 2024. He’s out of the race. We already know this. But for a brief moment in time, the Governor of Florida was pleading his case to the nation with a bewildering campaign slogan– “Make America Florida.” We here at WatchMojo are not here to make broad generalizations about the desires of the American people. That’s above our pay grade. But we will go out on a limb and say this: one Florida is more than enough. Maybe making America Florida would be a good plot for a Syfy original film. “In a world where America is Florida, one man fights off a tropical storm of alligators with a chainsaw, an iguana, and a heart of gold.” That could be something, write that down!
#7: Cat Ladies for Harris
The 2024 US Presidential Election has finally answered the question we’ve all had on our minds for the last two-hundred-plus years as a country: what do the cat people want– besides cats? They have spoken– they’ll be meowing out the vote for Kamala Harris. This outcry of support from the feline population is in direct response to a comment made by Trump’s running mate, JD Vance, who claimed that the Democratic Party was run by “childless cat ladies.” Hey, JD Vance… the child-having dog person store called, and they’re running out of you! They should really hire me as Kamala Harris’s speechwriter, that would’ve killed. Now, in all seriousness– please rise for the cational anthem.
#6: Trump Smells, Pass It On?
What do you think of when you picture a President? Someone smart, someone resilient, someone with a clear vision for the future? Perhaps! But now, I’d like for you to imagine this: What if the President of the United States… was stinky? Now, open your eyes– I pictured your eyes being closed before when you were imagining the President. It’s January 2017. Donald J. Trump is inaugurated into the highest office. And guess what? He's stinky. I know, I didn’t take this news lightly either. Former representative Adam Kinzinger took to X to claim that the former president’s odor was so pungent, that he recommended wearing a mask in his presence. Trump fired back via spokesperson, claiming that Mr. Kinzinger “farted on live TV and is an unemployed fraud.” We here at WatchMojo cannot confirm or deny the stinky allegations. We’re just here to rank the facts.
#5: Biden’s Dead, Pass It On?
What do you think of when you picture a President? Someone smart, someone resilient, someone with a clear vision for the future? Perhaps! But now, I’d like for you to imagine this: What if the President of the United States… was dead? Now, open your eyes. You’re Republican Congresswoman Lauren Boebert. And guess what? Your President, Joseph Robinette Biden Jr., is holding office as a dead man. Biden announced having caught COVID a few days before he dropped out of the presidential race, which kept him physically out of the public eye for about a week. But for Boebert, this wasn’t the full story– and she repeatedly demanded proof of life from the President over X. While we here at WatchMojo can confirm that Joe Biden is alive as of August 2024, we are currently imagining him in a Weekend at Bernie’s type situation. We have no comment on whether or not that is funny.
#4: The Gay Furry Hackers Disband
Well behaved furries rarely make history– and make history these furries did. Also known as SiegedSec, this group of hacktivists have had some high profile targets over the years. To name a few: The Nebraska Supreme Court, NATO, and most recently, The Heritage Foundation, which is the organization behind the controversial “Project 2025.” But alas, nothing fur can stay, and the group has announced their retirement from cybercrime to focus on their mental health, and to steer clear of the FBI. But who knows what the future holds for the self-proclaimed gay furry hackers– if the Ocean’s franchise taught us anything, it’s that a good crew can’t stay apart for very long. So next time you see a furry leaving a casino, you may want to alert the authorities.
#3: The Debate of a Lifetime
Anyone who watched the 2024 Presidential Debate between Biden and Trump should receive a stimulus check from the United States government as a pain and suffering settlement. Please don’t make me relive this. Ok, fine– let’s relive it together. What is there to say that has yet to be said about this debate? It was bad. It was really, really bad. Let us know in the comments if you’d like for us to publish “top 10 things I would rather do than rewatch the Biden-Trump debate.” Here’s a preview– #10: Go to the optometrist and wait for 45 minutes but then realize my appointment is actually tomorrow. #9: Watch the 2015 Netflix sitcom “Real Rob.” #8: Shake a rock out of my shoe. #7– Nevermind, you get it.
#2: The JD Vance Of It All
What do you think of when you picture a Vice President? Someone smart, someone resilient, someone with a clear vision for the future? Perhaps! But now, I’d like for you to imagine this: What if the Vice President of the United States… wore eyeliner? Now, open your eyes. Is this joke old yet? I didn’t think so. As Trump’s running mate, JD Vance has been doing an excellent job so far… of being the center of many, many odd headlines. Most notably, a rumor had spread on X that Vance had sexual relations with a couch. While this is presumably untrue, it’s proven difficult for the senator to shake the gossip. Harris’ running mate Tim Walz has even poked fun at Vance, telling him to “get off the couch” and debate him. Ouch… I wonder how many writers it took to come up with that one.
#1: The Many Adventures of RFK Jr.
Don’t worry, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., we didn’t forget about you– it’s not like we have a brain worm or anything. RFK Jr. is arguably one of the most, uh, interesting presidential candidates in recent history… and that’s saying a lot. But if he’s good at anything, it’s getting ahead of the news. Wondering why Mr. Kennedy may be a tad forgetful? A parasitic worm ate a portion of his brain and then died, of course! Remember when a deceased bear seemingly appeared out of thin air in Central Park in 2014? Oh, that was just little ol’ Robert F. doing one of his classic… bear jokes, naturally! We would like to thank you, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., for keeping us on our toes this election season. We know so, so much more than we need to know about you. God Bless America.
What would you rather do than rewatch the Biden-Trump debate? Let us know in the comments!
