Footage of Saudi Arabian sketch show mocking Biden and Kamala Harris goes viral

The sketch depicted Joe Biden as tired, forgetful, and incapable while Kamala Harris had to help him through the conference

Social media has been buzzing after a clip from Saudi Arabian television show 'Studio 22' started circulating on Twitter. The sketch depicted US President Joe Biden as tired, forgetful, and incapable while Vice President Kamala Harris had to help him through the conference. The one-minute-long clip makes fun of Biden and Harris and people can't get enough of it.

'Studio 22' is a comedy show aired by MBC, aka the Middle East Broadcasting Center, which is a conglomerate owned by Saudi Arabia's government. The sketch portrays Biden as an unaware and old man who can fall asleep mid-sentence. Harris, on the other hand, is portrayed as Biden's helping hand, who corrects him and tells him what to do as well as say.

The sketch begins with the actors portraying Biden and Harris walking on-screen and the cameras flashing. Biden then walks off stage, but Harris pulls him back to the conference podium. "Thank you very much. Today, we gotta talk about the crisis in Spain," he says, after which Harris taps him on the shoulder and whispers in his ear. "Yeah, we gotta talk about the crisis in Africa," Biden says but is corrected by Harris again.

Biden says, "Yeah Russia. And I wanna talk about President of Russia–" and pauses, looking towards Harris, who whispers the answer. "Putin, listen to me. I have a very important message to you. The message is–" Biden says, and falls asleep while snoring. Harris nudges him awake, after which he says, "And the president of China–" but Harris whispers, and Biden asks, "Oh, I didn't finish Russia?" to which Harris replies, "No, sir."

The president then says, "Thank you to correct me, First Lady," leading to a scandalized Harris covering the mic and whispering in his ear. Biden then adds, "Thank you very much. God bless you, and God bless–" but falls asleep and starts snoring before he can complete. Harris then physically picks up Biden and says, "Thank you all. Hallelujah! Clap to your president," and then aggressively repeats, "Clap to your president right now!"
