Pretty much the whole country is on the edge of its seat, chewing it's fingernails raw waiting for the results of the election to finally drop.

So of course, the internet has gotten very creative with all this sit-around-and-wait time on its hands. What better way to pass the time than an epic Photoshop battle?


And a recent photo of Barack Obama and Joe Biden elbow bumping provided the perfect template.

The instant-classic photo of the former president and prospective president-to-be was taken last week at a rally for Biden's presidential campaign in Flint, Michigan.

The elbow bump, of course, is taking the place of the handshake nowadays, amidst the ongoing pandemic. It's a great picture--both men seem so jovial and friendly, and it reminds us all of the at least comparatively "simpler times" of the Obama era.

But if you look at it a certain way, it also seems a bit like Obama and Biden might be fighting a common foe, or doing some kind of super-hero pose. And over on Reddit, the mens' stances inspired several adept Photoshoppers.

People on the platform came up with loads of hilarious new versions of the photo that left their fellow Redditors howling with laughter.

There was an epic Samurai battle.


It was an instant favorite.

"You are a genius." -- originalkabumm
"This is underrated." --Winn1002

And there was a clever reboot of Star Wars featuring Obama and Biden as Skywalker and Vader.



There was also a nerd culture tribute to the former POTUS and Veep.


Which had plenty of Redditors rolling.

"It looks like Obama is about to play Pot of Greed! It allows him to draw 2 new cards from his deck!" -- noteverrelevant
"Yeah, we have a clear winner with this one!" -- Future-Frost
"I love this so much. Thank you for this." --aiden22304

And there were some more absurdist takes, like a hilarious Obama and Biden wrestling match refereed by Bernie Sanders.



Joe Biden and Barack Obama as America's foremost exotic bird enthusiasts was another favorite.


It inspired some very "punny" comments.

"Any Polys want this cracker?"
"Birdack Obama Joe Birden" -- robdelterror


And, of course, there were tons of swipes at President Trump, including an appearance from the infamous Trump Baby balloon, created by artist Matt Bonner, that showed up at several protests throughout Trump's first term.



And one where Barry and Joe give Trump the good old-fashioned school bully treatment...


Naturally, that one was beloved by many.

"This one is also the best." -- PickyQuicky69
"Wow!!! That one is really good" -- Chuckidodel
All this waiting may be agony, but at least it's inspired Reddit to keep us laughing!

A 'Fake Egg' Prank Targeting Kids Is Trending On TikTok—But Not Everyone Thinks It's Funny

In a recent TikTok trend, people are presenting young children with "fake eggs" and crushing the egg in their hands to show that the eggs are fake.

In order for this trend to work, the person has to poke a hole into each end of the egg to drain it of its yolk and let the shell dry, so it becomes more brittle and easy to crush, making the prank more believable.

Guy Sparks Debate After Abandoning Girlfriend In Economy While He Booked Himself A First Class Seat On Flight

It's really hard to watch while someone is clearly not being treated well enough by their partner, and instead of accepting the reality check for what it is, they spend their time digging their heels in deeper and defending their partner's honor.

That was certainly true for TikToker Nicole Vawter, or @nicmarievee, anyway, when fellow TikTokers called her partner out on selfishly booking himself a first class seat while his long-time girlfriend sat back in economy.

Guy Sparks Modern Dating Debate With His Unhinged Texts To Woman Who Turned Him Down For Second Date

You know what they say: if a person has to point out how nice they are, they probably aren't really all that nice.

Actions tend to speak louder than words, with an affinity for niceness and kindness being among the best examples. When a person is truly nice and kind, it will come through in their daily attitude and actions without them having to say anything at all.
