 So, there are many, many types of fan fiction that you can find out there in the world. There's the high school AU ones where they just take all the characters from whatever series they're working on and put them into high school for some reason. There's the self inserts which is where you basically just take a character which is either just straight up the author or someone who's meant to be the author and just have them go into the story and go on adventures with the main characters. There's shipping which is where you just take two characters and have them fall in love, whether they're actually in love in the main series or not. And then there's the weird sex ones which are pretty self-explanatory, it's just people having sex and obviously there's crackfix which are not meant to be taken seriously, they're just supposed to be super weird and out there. But the two, two of my favorite types of fan fiction are the ones you can actually buy as a physical book and Jenny Nicholson has a couple of good videos on this, she has one where she goes through a Jeff the Killer fan fiction which you can actually buy, it was self-published on Amazon, but I don't think you can buy it anymore, I think the person who published it took it off the market but that's another story. And then she also has one on a Star Wars fan fiction and those are fun. And then there's fan fictions about real people which those are odd to me but I would imagine it's kind of the same as self-insert ones or shipping ones where you just think oh I want to fall in love with this person or something like that. Now the most famous series I can think of that combines these two things so it's fan fiction about a real person that you can buy is after and that was if you're unfamiliar a Wattpad story that was about a self-insert character falling in love with Harry Styles and then it got big enough that the author just changed the names and published it as a real book and then made a bunch of sequels. But there's also the Obama Biden mystery series which I have reviewed the first two books in that and I don't think I'm gonna read any more of them but you know it's it's the same idea it's fan fiction about real people. But I decided in the vein of Obama Biden mysteries to take those two ideas real person fanfic can buy as an actual book and then I decided to include comics in there. So today we're looking at comic books about Barack Obama that you can actually buy as physical books. Now I didn't actually go out and buy all of these because a lot of them are just really expensive you can only find them on eBay and people are charging like $20 for a 20 page comic book or something but you can technically buy all of these so the criteria still fits and well that's enough intro let's go. This is the introduction song it's not very good but it's not too long. So the first series I want to talk about is called Drafted. Now this one is a pretty short comic series it only went for 12 issues and it came out in around 2007 I believe and it's all about one day aliens come to earth and they conscript all of humanity into their war effort against some other aliens and when I first heard that I thought wow that sounds really cool and it's it's actually not you know that the series as a whole is just kind of okay I think but it has a really cool setup obviously but it has way too many characters for such a short for such a short run none of them really get a chance to stand out or do anything of note really other than President Prescott Walker who's in there I he I thought was a pretty good character but other than that none of them really stood out and the plot is basically just okay aliens arrive and things are kind of interesting and then it's just them preparing for war preparing for war and then big battles happen at the end and there's a plot twist which is pretty easy to see coming and the whole thing just feels kind of unfinished and at first I thought that maybe the series just got canceled early but I don't think that's the case because a year later they came out with a spin off called Drafted 100 days so this is a short spin-off graphic novel which features Barack Obama and it takes place after the main series and Chicago has been completely destroyed by aliens it's been almost completely abandoned there's very few people there anymore and there's crazy weather so it's basically like the Arctic there everything's frozen and so a crew of builders go there to rebuild the city and they're led by Barack Obama and they're kind of cut off because the weather is getting weird so it's blocking signals and stuff I don't I don't know it seems like alien technology would get around that but whatever it's a plot device and at first I thought that okay these people are going to be led by Barack Obama and he also got some sort of injury so he can't speak and so the audience is going to realize oh okay that's Barack Obama but the characters either aren't going to realize that or they're just not going to acknowledge it like they're gonna call him Barry or something but then no that like a page after Obama first showed up some guy says don't you recognize this guy this is senator Barack Obama because I guess he never became president in this world and after that it's just it's pretty simple I guess because Barack Obama well he was still injured he but he can talk he just doesn't do it very much or very loud so there's that I guess and anyways the building crew is just stranded they have no communication with the outside world they're getting attacked by try by scavengers that's the word I kept wanting to say something else but now they keep getting attacked by scavengers they're low on supplies people are deserting and they can't call for help and then it ends on 100 days of this Barack Obama climbs to the top of the tallest tower he can find and cuts out his tracking chip from his arm and holds it up and he finally gets a signal so people come to rescue them and that's that's kind of the whole thing honestly I don't have a lot to say about this one like it's not really funny it's not poignant it doesn't make any sort of point it it doesn't have action in there so I just don't I just don't get it like coming away from this I don't see what the point of writing this was although there was one panel where it showed Michelle and his kids getting vaporized by an alien laser so I feel like the artist got a visit from the Secret Service after that but you know whatever the case I just I just I just don't see what the point of this one was next up we have Barack the Barbarian now this one was actually written because pretty early on in Obama's presidency he mentions that he used to be a really big fan of the Conan the Barbarian comics when he was a kid so the so some comic company just saw that and said oh let's do that and this one is obviously a Conan parody and the plot is roughly about the 2008 election when Barack Obama first became president like his name is Barack of Chicago and he arrives in a city called Washington and as soon as he gets there there's people that are selling this drug which they literally just call influence and I think I the moments that one of the merchant characters in the background just said I'm selling pork by the barrel here that the moment they said that I I think that if anyone finds the comic writer please just punch them in the face for me because that's the dumbest fucking thing I've ever seen and it only gets worse from there because the city is ruled by a guy called the despot bush and his evil wizard who is the real power behind the throne and they're part of an elephant cult and it's just guys subtlety subtlety is the name of the game here and then Barack just decides he wants to take over and in order to take over he has to go through this whole long labyrinth full of monsters and shit like there's monsters that are clearly meant to be and culture and other like news anchors and such and then at near the end he starts fighting monsters that look like this so just the whole thing is it's so so unsubtle like whatever point you're trying to make you have to be subtle with it otherwise it's not going to stick and the whole time they're going through there's another group of people who are also trying to take over from the despot bush there's this guy who's just called the old warrior who is also a member of the elephant cult but they they kind of respect him because he still has a sense of honor that's how they say it but his partner is just fucking Sarah Palin so it's it's pretty clear who they're going on about here and the thing is Barack just agrees to go through the labyrinth and take over with no prompting like he doesn't mention at the beginning that yeah I want to take over or I want to fix things or anything like that it's just people mention to him hey if you want to take over you have to go through the labyrinth and everything and then Barack's just like sure let's do that and then at the end he overthrows despot bush and he frees lady liberty and he literally relights the torch of liberty it's just god this whole thing is a masturbatory fantasy like it's it's borderline propaganda and it's funny at first don't get me wrong like I I see the title and I see Barack looking all muscled out and I think it's funny but the the novelty wears off really quick and quite frankly I would skip this one if I were you because it got old fast even if it's not that long it got old really fast next up we have president evil and I have to give it credit just for that fucking name because that name made me laugh but this one is all about Barat Obama fighting zombies and he also fights them alongside other political figures like Hillary Clinton Stephen Colbert John McCain is there Sarah Palin's there Arnold Schwarzenegger shows up at one point and it this whole thing is just an absolute sugar rush okay this reminds me of when I was a small child and was just running around all the time because you have Barack Obama as soon at the very beginning of this series he's on Air Force One and the pilots are dead so he has to try and land it and he crashes into a field of zombies and then it turns out he has some sort of magical self-defense suit so he just activates it and he starts glowing like he's going Super Saiyan or something and they just fights through a horde of zombies like that and then Sarah Palin shows up and she just uses well she just uses a lot of guns so there's nothing really that no worthy about that and then Hillary Clinton is there and she fights because she's just really angry at Bill so that makes her strong or something and John McCain is there fighting that at first you think it's just John McCain being a badass but then you realize it's actually John McCain piloting a John McCain robot so it's not actually John McCain but it is kind of John McCain it doesn't make any sense and then while they're fighting zombies they also fight zombie George Washington zombie Abraham Lincoln zombie Billy Mays and a whole bunch of others and and the whole time I'm just sitting there with a giant smile on my face going what the hell is going on here but anyways the zombies get a hold of doomsday device and destroy the whole world but then in the last issue Barack and company are in some sort of post-apocalyptic wasteland and they're going off to try and find a time machine and they find it and Barack goes back in time and he starts warning everybody and they prepare and they don't completely stop the zombie outbreak but they manage to mitigate it and then it ends with Barack on Air Force One as it's crashing and then he has to try and crash landing and he's like oh shit I gotta do all this again and so you realize the whole thing is just a time loop and I can't decide if that's really clever or really lazy so as I said this whole thing is just a really stupid sugar rush like if you want to watch Barack Obama go Super Saiyan and punch some zombies then this is for you it's it's really stupid like especially when they have Arnold Schwarzenegger talk like they they talk the way everyone who thinks they can do an impression of Schwarzenegger talks and it's it's really stupid and not even stupid actually it's just kind of annoying but for the most part this is really funny and really enjoyable and it's it's short it's only four issues long so I think if you're looking to waste an hour or two I would say check out president evil because this one is fun and now we move to Japan the country that ruins everything and we're gonna be talking about manga that features Obama now these aren't actually going to be all about Obama they're just going to be about something else but they feature Obama at some point and first up is air gear now air gear is a really terrible manga and it's all about essentially it's all about roller skating wizards because at the beginning it's about just kids who have these special roller skates called I believe they're called air treks and they're just roller skates have motors in them so you can go up walls and shit and even back when I first read this I read this around the time the series ended so that was around 2012 or 2013 I was in my shonen fuckboy phase I was right in the middle of that and even then I thought this was really stupid because while at first it was okay over time they start using their skates to like shoot out fire and stuff and I just okay sure whatever and anyways Barack Obama shows up around 200 chapters in only his name is King Omaha for some reason like like he's still the 44th president of the United States they just rather than calling him Barack Obama he's president King Omaha I don't know why they went with that but they did and anyways he shows up and switches bodies with a Japanese schoolgirl and while I did reread part of this in preparation for this video I genuinely do not remember how or why they switched bodies and I don't think they ever give an actual explanation if they did feel free to correct me but I do not care enough to check and anyways he switches bodies with a Japanese school girl and at one point he like actually takes a shower in her body and stuff like that which is a little uncomfortable but kind of funny I'll admit and then he tells all the main characters about to the plot that the villains have to use roller skates to take over the world because this series was written by an insane person and it's not insane in a good way I really want to reiterate that it's it's a terrible manga from start to finish and also apparently King Omaha's home village over in Kenya got destroyed by the bad guys so that's part of why he wants to help fight anyways anyways later on Omaha in the Japanese schoolgirl's body picks up a assault rifle and helps the helps fight the bad guys at the end so he helps save the day I suppose all I can say about this is what the fuck that's all I can say about it like there's there's nothing else to add it's just what the fuck and I've read another series by the same manga artist called a tenjo tangy and I feel kind of the same way about that one it got weird at points it got pointlessly edgy at points overall it was just really stupid and terrible and to finish off today I'd like to talk about a manga called gamblefish now this one this one is not very well known in fact there's actually a Wikipedia page which lists a whole bunch of Barack Obama's comic appearances and gamblefish is not on there at least as of the time of this recording if you're if you're an editor at Wikipedia feel free to throw it on there but anyways gamblefish is a manga all about well basically it's about a guy who cheats at gambling like or maybe he doesn't cheat without getting caught but a lot of times he also just uses intelligent strategy in mind games to win and defeat his opponents you know like if you're looking for a series about a character who's just cool and defeats all his opponents using mind games I would say something like death note is still better but gamblefish is a lot of fun because the series is just meant to be cool you know it's just meant to show off the main character don't and how cool he is and how he's surrounded by all these girls that are fawning over him that sort of thing and it's also a very horny manga I should I should mention like it starts off pretty horny but it only gets worse as time goes on so in the final act of gamblefish like in many shown in manga it ends with this big tournament arc like they go to Macau and there's a big gambling competition and the main bad guys there so the main characters names Tomu just decides okay you know what we're gonna go there we're gonna defeat everybody and then when it gets to the tournament roster it introduces like this whole new cast of colorful characters and as you're reading it you realize okay so these guys are all gonna have their own competitions and everything okay that's fine and when it gets to the last person it's this dude wearing a hood and he just rips it off and everyone's like oh my god it's the 44th president of the United States Barack Obama except they call him King Omaha again I don't know I don't know why the Japanese manga community decided that that was the best thing to call him but that's what they decided to call him and yeah he just shows up and participates in the final tournaments against the main bad guy at first he shows up and he's almost just a caricature of his real-world self like he's constantly saying hope and change and yes I can like when people say you'll never defeat me he's keep going yes I can like it's not meant to be taken all that seriously I get it joke and before he even participates in the tournament though I have to bring this up because there are these two Brazilian sisters who are in the tournament and they claim that they met a Jaguar God and the Jaguar God gave them a lifetimes amount of luck but the the flip side of that is that they would have to die after one year okay and then during their their tournament match they use up all their luck so afterwards when they lose it looks like oh they're about to die and they start shriveling away into husks and then Barack Obama just comes up with them and says I will reinvigorate your spirit yes I can change you like just you know slogans basically and he wraps them in an American flag and heals them with his American this I guess and then they're just all better afterwards and I this whole part's a fucking fever dream let me tell you like the manga is kind of weird in general but when Obama shows up it gets even weirder but then when it gets to his tournament part he's just playing essentially Russian roulette with the main bad guy and he actually okay the reason that he's in the tournament is to get something from the bad guy basically without going into too much detail it's like a super hacker computer code or something like that and he actually does win he makes it so that the bad guy has to fire with a fully loaded gun but the bad guy what he does he points the gun at his forehead like this and he purposely makes it so that the bullet goes between the hemispheres of his brain and misses all the major blood vessels and everything he just pops out the back of his head and at first they think he's dead but then he just pops back up and he's like nope I'm fine and okay even if you somehow managed to do that on purpose I'll just accept that you can do that on purpose you can't but I'll just accept it because you know it's a fucking comic book even if you did that you would need some medical attention afterwards like you have two holes in your skull now like you're gonna be bleeding a lot and hell if nothing else I'd be worried about the wound getting infected but you know not not long after that Barack Obama also has to shoot himself except he the chair that he was on broke so the bullet just kind of grazed his skull and anyways he surrenders after that and I mean it makes sense because you know it's the main bad guy you can't have him taken out before the main character gets a chance to do it but nonetheless it's still really fucking bizarre and actually one of the bets that he made with the bad guy during that competition was that if the bad guy won he would put his face on Mount Rushmore and the final panel of the manga is that so just make of that what you will and I have to say that this one is my favorite Obama in comics cameo because it it seems to understand that he shouldn't be the focus you know he's just one character one very colorful character in a large colorful cast and what he shows up for a little while he does his bit and then he leaves whereas with air gear he was kind of a side character but he stayed there for a while and so the novelty of oh shit Obama's here wore off quickly and in fact the other ones where Obama is the main character same story the novelty wore off quickly whereas this one it's just kind of making fun of not only or maybe not even making fun of but it's the character of King Omaha is just Barack Obama's personality taken to an extreme as well as just general American this taken to an extreme and you know he shows up he does his thing and then he leaves so it works out really really well overall I just have to ask why are there so many Obama comics out there I don't get it that we didn't have this many for George Bush I don't think we have this many for Donald Trump or any other world leaders for that matter I just what why are there so many people that are not only willing to write a fan essentially fanfiction about Barack Obama because writing fanfiction is a lot easier than making a comic book because you have to not only write it but also do the coloring and the drawing and all that stuff and if it's published you obviously have to get publishers to agree to this and I just have to ask why are there so many because most of them don't seem to be serving a purpose like some of them are political I don't know satire celebration propaganda like like Barack the Barbarian is borderline propaganda I'll say that but others are just like aired year is just hey look at Obama do this weird stuff and in fact that's what all of them are they just kind of make the same joke over and over again look at Obama do weird shit and gamblefish it worked well because he was only there for a little while but in air gear he was there forever in Brock the Barbarian in president evil in drafted it was all just look at Obama do weird things so I have to ask like what inspired people to make these then again I ask that for most fanfiction so I guess I guess I can't stop you special thanks to all the patrons you see here
