Animated Obama Needs his Nicotine Fix, or Else

When weathering a political climate of hate, one coping mechanism is satire. Animators Wayne Stamps, David Corbett, and Tyree Dillihay employ this technique well.

B-Rock: The First Term is a new web series featuring our Commander in Chief as a chain-smoking smooth talker with William Shatner’s cadence who turns into a hulking mass of superhero muscle when he doesn’t get his Cool nicotine fix.

All the hyperbolic trappings of cartooned political commentary are present, including an emaciated Ann Coulter making ludicrous claims about the President’s past, a Barack Obama who’s good with the ladies and soft on criminals, and a Rahm Emanuel who yells a lot of expletives. The program is a lot like Current’s SuperNews

with a focus on the White House.

Stamps created B-Rock and Stamps, Corbett, and Dillihay are all on board as executive producers. Aaron Simpson at Cold Hard Flash reports the trio have completed 12 episodes.
