Their banter, with Letterman playing the role of questioner and Franken the guide through the fraught topic, is laden with har-har quips.

And as any comic will tell you, timing is everything, even when the words aren’t your own. During the 2015 traditional White House ceremony in which the president pardons a turkey, Obama’s remarks were standard har-har material: “It’s hard to believe that this is my seventh year of pardoning turkeys. Time flies, even if turkeys don’t.”

Honorable mentions get a lusted-after Loser magnet designed by Bob Staake: either the last of our current models, “The Wit Hit the Fan” and “Hardly Har-Har,” or one of the winners of Week 1146.
