Mike Tyson Imitates Herman Cain, ‘The Man Who’s Been Shouting The Number Nine On Your TV’

In the past week or so, Funny or Die has been rolling out a new part of their site, Live Funny or Die, a section dedicated to political humor. While the launch has been quiet so far, featuring only a few videos (including a fun one by friends of Mediaite, The Full Ginsburg), things kicked off in full with an announcement video in which all the 2012 candidates (played by such luminaries as Darrell Hammond and Twitter king Rob Delaney) talk up the new site. And, while it just feels right to see Hammond playing another presidential candidate, that video is completely overshadowed by another one posted today in which Herman Cain is played by…Mike Tyson.

The video features Tyson ridiculously skewering Cain, “the man who’s been yelling the number nine on your TV,” by explaining that he’s doing so well in the polls because “the Tea Party loves crazy more than they hate black” and promising to be “much crazier” for the rest of the campaign.

It’s wonderfully bizarre and, coupled with the release of Tim Heidecker’s charity album, completes today’s quest to become the best day for Cain-based comedy fans ever. Ever.

Watch both videos from Funny or Die below. First the announcement video with everyone and then the Tyson/Cain one.

Iron Mike loves the ladies like Herman does, although the champ prefers chocolate.

Were it not for the caption, his tea party supporters wouldn’t have told that that wasn’t Cain, all blacks look the same to them

Dare I say it… Mike Tyson’s comedic timing is actually quite good.

What other convicted rapists will Funny or Die work with next?

What’s the matter with you guys? Can’t a black man get a little wool without there being a damned press conference? I’ll bet you wouldn’t see President Cain stooping so low as to get a BJ from someone as homely as Monica Lewinsky. Well, on second thought. Accuser No. 3 is a real dog.

Liberals hate that dang sexual harasser so much, but rapists are cool apparently.
