The election is over, the drama has ended for now, and it is a time to look back and laugh at the little things. My personal go-to for daily funnies is Buzzfeed, and when it came to post-election humor the site was chalked full of memes, gifs, videos, and photos. Here are some of the more popular examples:

Some "articles" showed the nation that even the newly re-elected President can't escape the hell that is awkward, candid, embarrassing pictures...http://www.buzzfeed.com/mattbellassai/the-44-greatest-barack-obama-facial-expressions-6z51. We've all been there and we all feel your pain, Mr. President. 

Others chose to show off the popular skill of video mashing the lyrics to an early 90s song. No matter how overdone these have become people really have perfected the art, especially using Obama. http://www.buzzfeed.com/copyranter/obama-sings-you-cant-touch-this

One especially fun one was the "8 Things We'll Miss About The 2012 Election." This write-up includes many of the forgotten faces and situations this election season birthed, and it throws in the ultimate sad song, Sarah Mclachlan's I Will Remember You. Rick Santorum's sweater vest obsession? Check! Joe Biden snuggling with a biker chick? Check! Like I said, its especially fun. http://www.buzzfeed.com/hunterschwarz/8-things-well-miss-about-the-2012-election-6zgv 

I chose these articles out of pure silliness, not to endorse one candidate over the other. That fight is over, and I hope that no matter who you voted for you can take a minute to just appreciate that there can be humor in the most unusual, normally dry places.
