Legendary comedian Ruth Buzzi recently took a swipe at President Biden’s sniffing habit, showcasing her sharp sense of humor. Buzzi, known for her iconic roles on “Rowan and Martin’s Laugh-In,” is still making people chuckle with her jokes, even in retirement.
It’s refreshing to see a comedian unafraid to poke fun at political figures, especially when they exhibit peculiar behavior like Biden’s hair-smelling antics. Buzzi’s joke hit the mark, highlighting a unique aspect of Biden’s personality in a lighthearted manner.
Lots of my famous friends won’t agree, but being a celebrity gives me neither the credibility nor any special authority to tell anybody else how to vote.
My job for over half a century was to entertain you to the very best of my ability — and I tried my hardest to do that.

In today’s overly sensitive culture, where comedy is often censored for fear of offending someone, Buzzi’s joke stands out as a reminder of the days when comedians weren’t afraid to push boundaries. It’s a shame that some of Buzzi’s leftist followers couldn’t appreciate the humor and even threatened to unfollow her for daring to jest about Biden.
The reaction to Buzzi’s joke underscores the growing intolerance among the left for any dissenting viewpoints or light-hearted mockery of their chosen leaders. It’s a concerning trend when even harmless humor is deemed unacceptable simply because it doesn’t align with a certain political ideology.
Buzzi’s comedic take on Biden’s behavior reminds us of a time when comedians like Johnny Carson could poke fun at politicians without facing backlash. This incident serves as a stark contrast to the current climate where dissenting voices are silenced, even in the realm of comedy.
Overall, Buzzi’s witty jab at Biden is a breath of fresh air in a humorless political landscape dominated by censorship and cancel culture. It’s a reminder that comedy should be allowed to thrive, even if it means taking a light-hearted dig at those in power.
