# Remixed Campaign Anthems The Barack Obama '99 Problems' Spoof Targets his Opponent By Jennifer Gosnell | Published 2012-07-12 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/barack-obama-99-problems References: [youtube](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qKXZ6quhps0&feature=player_embedded) & [buzzfeed](http://www.buzzfeed.com/boxofficebuz/99-problems-barack-obama-spoof-48z2) The Barack Obama '99 Problems' Spoof is a hilarious parody of the [ongoing election](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/harris-walz) that has the current U.S President pinned against [Republican](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amusemints-election-collection) nominee Mitt Romney. The polarized debate has provided some hilarious gaffes and gags from the candidates. This is simply the latest spoof in an ongoing battle between the two hopefuls. The 'I Got 99 Problems but Mitt Ain't One' rap is a great take on the Obama camp that even features Vice President Biden spinning as the DJ. The rap ridicules Romney's near-failure to Santorum, his name (named after a glove) and other aspects of his campaign. The spoofer has done a great job of mastering Obama's vocal ticks, including his pause sounds and the lower and abrupt finishing of words that end with the 'no' sound. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.2/10 - Popularity: 34% | Activity: 25% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Media](https://www.trendhunter.com/media) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Political Spoof Videos:** Opportunity for content creators to create entertaining and satirical videos that parody political campaigns and candidates. - **Viral Campaigns:** Opportunity for brands to leverage humor and popular culture to create viral marketing campaigns that resonate with their target audience. - **Political Satire:** Growing demand for political satire as a form of social commentary and entertainment. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Entertainment:** Opportunity for comedians, filmmakers, and content creators to create political satire content that resonates with audiences. - **Advertising:** Opportunity for agencies and brands to create viral marketing campaigns that leverage humor and political references. - **Media:** Opportunity for media outlets and digital platforms to showcase and distribute political spoof videos and satire content. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Boomer-Focused Voter Advertisements](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/groom-a-boomer.md) - [Political Campaign Game Maps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/freedom-town.md) - [Rap-Themed Cider Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/straight-outta-crumpton.md) - [Bouillon-Based Food Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fast-food-remix.md) - [Motion-Powered Songs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/motionpowered-song.md) - [Presidential Note Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/joe-biden.md) - [Anxiety-Alleviating Election Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/election-escape.md) - [Humorous Drink Cart Ads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/titos-spokescart.md) - [Viral Political Campaign Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/harris-walz.md)
