Even Bernie Will Laugh At These Jokes

Bernie Sanders is a character, and by a character, I mean he has character. He's a Jew from Brooklyn with messy hair, hands a-twirlin', a funny accent, and a hunched back. Apparently, he owns just two pairs of underwear — well, at least Larry David said so in a rumor he started via Saturday Night Live. So what if Bernie's not the picture of a president — just how should a president look? Possibly like Bernie! In any case, ever since he has appeared on the presidential scene, Internet goers have produced plenty of jokes to accompany Sanders along his potential journey to the White House. In addition to his widespread hashtag, #FeelTheBern, and his apparent lack of undergarments, Sanders is a stand-up guy who is really out to help others.

As far as jokes go, the "Twitterverse" and other areas of the Internet have their proverbial bases covered. Comedians are all set with plenty of ammunition. The jokes are ready to roll out. Some are actually hilarious, others more sentimental about the areas closest to people's hearts, some are flat-out inaccurate, a couple are from Bernie himself, and all of them are entertaining.

Without further ado, I present jokes from the late-night circuit that featuring Sanders in all of his Democratic Socialist glory.
