“Sometimes the familiar face can be the most terrifying,” the voice-over says.
The friends list some of Biden’s accomplishments until someone brings up his bike accident.
“I mean, I love the guy but he did his part,” says one of them, played by Bowen Yang.
The group then goes through alternate candidates using classic horror movie tropes — from Kamala Harris to Cory Booker, Pete Buttigieg, Beto O’Rourke, Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders.
You can watch the trailer spoof above to see who they ultimately went with.
