Bernie’s Briefs, all yours for the low price of $15.

Yesterday, the butt of America’s jokes was the sheer number of presidential candidates. Today, it’s a presidential nominee on its butt.

Bernie’s Briefs is the brainchild of Alexandra MacLean, Nick Sherman, and Todd Bailey, all of whom work together at a communications firm in Montpelier, VT, Bernie Sanders’s home state. Sanders, who leans the farthest left of the Democratic candidates, has been heard telling late night hosts that he favors briefs over boxers, which was apparently enough motivation to plaster a sketch of his face on the backside of white cotton briefs and sell them for $15 (plus shipping and handling).

The underwear comes in both men’s and women’s, and features the slogan, “Feel the Bern,” across the top. McLean told NECN, “It’s just an opportunity to bring something fun into what is otherwise a very serious matter.”

Serious matter? He must be talking about the campaigns of yesteryear because we’re still over a year away from the 2016 election and so far, it’s been nothing but hilarious.

Just yesterday, ABC’s Lara Spencer appeared to have sat on Donald Trump’s lap, Iowa banned The Daily Show from covering the Republican party’s cattle call which led to the greatest takedown of a state to ever hit TV. Two weeks ago, Martin O’Malley sang Taylor Swift’s ‘Bad Blood’ on national television, Jeb Bush copied our logo (and then change his mind), Hillary Clinton’s entire social media strategy is LOL funny, not to mention that guy who got her face shaved into his head in Texas. There are campaign promises from Kanye West, Waka Flocka Flame, and Lindsay Lohan and pot brownie promises from Ted Cruz.

If you’re not laughing every day, you’re not paying close enough attention.
