80

Times have been dumb as hell and decades are happening each day. So let's all look back on Biden for a bit. Cause that guy was hilarious. Remember when his dogs went Maoist insurgent mode on multiple occasions?

'No offense to the Greeks, but she made the best rice pudding.' Is my personal fave.

That reminds me of the one I wish were real, "America can be defined in a single word: afututuflalbala"

[-] AOCapitulator@hexbear.net 2 points 1 day ago

That one is real? That was the "in the foothills of afghanistan" clip, was that actually Ai and I got got? But it was years ago...

There's too many to list honestly. Some of my favorites:

  • "We solve our differences at the battle box"
  • "At least three." When asked how many genders exist.
  • "You ever been to a caucus? No you haven't. You're a lying dog-faced pony soldier."
  • "I may be Irish but I'm not stupid."
  • "I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy." 2008 quote where he's talking about Obama
  • "The next president of the United States, Barack America." Also from 2008
  • That one time in 2008 he told Missouri state senator Chuck Graham to stand up to receive applause. Graham has been in a wheelchair since 1981.
  • That one time in 2022 where on-stage he asked if senator Jackie Walorski was in the room, except she had been dead for a month.
  • "Osama bin Laden is dead. General Motors is alive."

"At least three." When asked how many genders exist.

This is honestly one of the better answers a senile 80-year-old could give to that question.

[-] Aradino@hexbear.net 27 points 2 days ago

It's genuinely funny so he was almost definitely coached to answer that

[-] Dessa@hexbear.net 37 points 2 days ago

At least three." When asked how many genders exist.

"Don't play games with me, kid."

[-] buckykat@hexbear.net 24 points 2 days ago

The question came from a TPUSA kid trying to play games with him too. One of the only good moments of his entire career.

[-] Blakey@hexbear.net 15 points 2 days ago

Legitimately the best answer. Obviously only by accident but that was genuinely the best possible answer. I hate the dude but gotta give him props for that.

Walking off the stage mid sentence is not a quote, but my god is it a Bidenism

Biden is an Oracle of Delphi. We were not ready for the Malarkey..

This is by far my favorite because it spawned a meme in my close friend group chat that we still reference today. We will regularly reaffirm our allegiance to The Thing.

"I got hairy legs that-that-that uh turn blonde in the sun and the kids used to come into the pool and rub my leg down so that it was straight and then watch the hair come back up again. They'd look at it. So I learned about roaches, I learned about kids jumping on my lap, and I've loved kids jumping on my lap."

It's still crazy to me that cornpop was real.

Who was he? Should we be worried about him?

That whole clip is full of bangers.

"I'll never forget what he said, I learned a lot, and I mean - I mean it sincerly. He looked at me and said 'One honkey is just as bad as any other, I'll take whoever you send me'"

We bring social workers into homes and parents to help them deal with how to raise their children. It's not want they don't want to help. They don't — they don't know quite what to do. Play the radio, make sure the television — excuse me, make sure you have the record player on at night, the, the — make sure that kids hear words.

[-] axont@hexbear.net 34 points 2 days ago

Also Biden said this in response to a question about reparations for slavery

He also seemed to imply that underfunded public schools in majority black areas is the fault of the parents and should be solved by social workers going into their homes, telling them how to raise kids, and keeping the record player on at night

[-] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 23 points 2 days ago

You just dropped a record and didn't sample that!

"America is a nation that can be defined in a single word: I was in the foothills of the Himalayas with Xi Jinping"

[-] DornerStan@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 1 day ago

This is the most charitable transcript of the speech and it's still bad lmao

It was posted elsewhere in the thread but here it is

Let me close with I've long said: America is a nation that can be defined in a single word: Eysafut-himuhfutifut

When told by a constituent that he's too old to run for president:

“Look, the reason I’m running is because I’ve been around a long time and I know more than most people know and I can get things done. That’s why I’m running. You want to check my shape, let’s do push-ups together. Let’s run. Let’s do whatever you want to do.”
