(ProsperNews.net) – President Joe Biden’s visit to the Amazon rainforest over the weekend turned into unexpected comedic fodder when a video surfaced of him walking away from the podium and disappearing into the dense jungle. The clip quickly went viral, sparking a wave of mockery from Hollywood celebrities who, until recently, had been among his biggest supporters.
The incident occurred after Biden delivered a speech on climate change, declaring that the “clean energy revolution in America is irreversible.” Moments later, he strolled into the undergrowth, leaving his aides—and the internet—in disbelief. The video quickly made its rounds online, becoming a favorite topic among comedians and pop culture figures.
Late-night host Jimmy Fallon couldn’t resist poking fun at Biden’s rainforest detour. “Who thought it was a good idea to send an 80-year-old into a 100-degree rainforest? After five minutes, he looked like an apple someone left in a food dehydrator,” Fallon quipped on The Tonight Show. “And that outfit! He looked like a billionaire who regrets opening a live dinosaur park.”
Fallon piled on, adding, “Honestly, he looked like he’d been waiting three hours for his grandkids at Animal Kingdom. Or maybe it’s Jeff Probst hosting Survivor: Season 396.”
Jon Stewart, host of The Daily Show, was equally baffled. “I’ve seen some wild presidential moments, but watching Biden just… wander into the trees? That’s a new one,” he joked, shaking his head. Stewart’s comments were echoed by other late-night personalities, who found humor in the president’s unexpected rainforest excursion.
Even pop star Lizzo got in on the fun, posting her reaction to the viral moment. “My new favorite meme is Biden wandering into the Brazilian rainforest after his speech. Sis was over it,” she captioned, alongside a screengrab of the president mid-stride.
Meanwhile, comedian Rob Schneider took a jab on social media, sarcastically posting, “Breaking: President Biden discovers a new path to fight climate change—by becoming one with nature.”
Despite the jokes, Biden’s rainforest visit wasn’t without substance. He reiterated his administration’s commitment to combating climate change, highlighting a $500 million pledge to the Amazon Fund announced last year. However, his environmental message was quickly overshadowed by the viral video.
Comedian Wesley Austin summed up the internet’s reaction: “Biden’s the first president to leave the podium and try out for Man vs. Wild. Spoiler alert: Nature won.”
While the rainforest moment might not have been Biden’s intention, it’s clear the internet—and Hollywood—had a field day with his unscripted adventure.
