Two things.

(a) It isn't a roast.

(b) It isn't funny.

Response A) It was intelligent, witty, non-harmful and clean - everything a good roast should be.

Response B) I believe you mean "I didn't find it funny" as I found it hilarious, thereby contradicting your definitive statement.

Re: John Hodgman Roasts Obama

The suggestion that Obama's ears are prosthetic alone made this a roast. Clearly you're in the minority when it comes to comedic aesthetics, but you can be forgiven if you're unfamiliar with Hodgman style of humor.

Nerd addendum:

1) Shai-Hulud

2) A Thumper

3) Water Of Life
