Last Black President? Insult Obama at your own peril

New Delhi: American President Barack Obama's trading of insults with comedian Zach Galifianakis on spoof celebrity interview Between Two Ferns just took the internet to a whole new level of awesome. In the six-and-a-half minute video which appears on the website FunnyOrDie, the US head of state parries The Hangover actor's deadpan jibes with some hilarious ones of his own.

Here are our favourite bits.

BEST 'PRE-SHOW' LINE
Obama: When I heard that people actually watch the show I was pretty surprised.

AWESOME QUESTION, AWESOME ANSWER
Zach: What is it like to be the last Black President?
Obama: Seriously? What's it like for this to be the last time you ever talk to a President?

HIT ZACH WHERE IT HURTS
Obama: If I ran a third time it would be sort of like doing a third Hangover movie. It didn't really work out very well, did it?

HIT HIM A LITTLE HARDER
Obama: Those Hangover movies. He (Bradley Cooper) basically carried them.
Zach: Yeah, everybody loves Bradley. Good for him.
Obama: Good looking guy.

NEAT MICHELLE REFERENCE
Zach: You said if you had a son, you would not let him play football. What makes you think he would want to play football? What if he was a nerd like you?
Obama: You think a woman like Michelle would marry a nerd? Why don't you ask her whether she thinks I'm a nerd?
Zach: Could I?
Obama: No. I'm not going to let her near you.

THE END. NICE ONE, ZACH
(Obama hits a button, black backdrop falls away to show that the interview is being shot in the White House)
Obama: You've been shooting these shows here in the diplomatic room? Who gave you permission to do that?
Zach: Bush
