'Good for comedy -- bad for the world': The best late-night drubbing of Donald Trump in 2017

The first year of President Donald Trump's administration has been a banner year for late-night comedy. No comedy writer could have a better gift than the gaffe-prone president with a propensity for outrageous Twitter storms.

"Barack Obama was not great for comedy," stand-up comedian Maz Jobrani told The Monthly. "Trump is good for comedy and bad for the world."

Some shows are making a name for themselves by continuing Jon Stweart's "War On Bullsh*t," while others are finding ways of mocking the administration through their own unique portrayals of Trump.

Here are some of the best late-night drubbings of Trump in 2017:

1. Stephen Colbert mocks Donald Trump for celebrating the "totally not important" first 100 days:

Trump swore that the first 100 days were completely arbitrary and unimportant. Which is why he ran a national ad about it, cut a cake on Air Force One and held a big rally themes "Promises Made. Promises Kept." Colbert noted it was much better than their original theme which was "Promises Made, Never Mind, Never Said It, Fake News, Watch Fox & Friends."

2. In February, Trump held his first "batsh*t crazy press conference" and it was so absurd Seth Meyers had to scrap his "closer look" segment to write up the hilarity:

“Being a world leader sitting with Trump right now is like being a woman on a date with a guy and then his wife shows up screaming, ‘Your kids want to know where you are!'” Meyers exclaimed.

3. Samantha Bee calls out Donald Trump's obsession with urine.

Just before President Donald Trump was inaugurated, Bee celebrated the Trump dossier as "comedy Christmas." After all, "it’s as the old Disney song goes: 'A spoonful of hooker urine helps the treason claims go down.'”

4. John Oliver forced to address "reality itself," because the president lies so much:

“We have a president capable of standing in the rain, and saying it was a sunny day,” Oliver said.

5. That time Colbert giggled and squealed "yay!" when Trump came after him and his show:

“You see a no-talent guy like Colbert,” Trump said. “There’s nothing funny about what he says. And what he says is filthy. And you have kids watching. And it only builds up my base. It only helps me, people like him...The guy was dying. By the way, they were going to take him off television, then he started attacking me and he started doing better. But his show was dying. I’ve done his show. But when I did his show, which, by the way, was very highly rated. It was high – highest rating. The highest rating he’s ever had.” (Trump's appearance actually earned fewer ratings than when Jeb Bush appeared.)

6. Seth Meyers mocking Trump's photo after signing a bill undoing President Obama’s coal-mining rule:

"Look how white that photo is," Meyers said. "If you print that photo out you can use it again as a blank piece of paper. It's like that old joke, 'What has 26 thumbs and no black friends? These guys!'"

7. Samantha Bee brought back a smoking George W. Bush asking, "How do you like me now?":

8. John Oliver sounds the alarm on liberals hoping Ivanka and Jared will be "moderating influences."

“You may still like Ivanka—she can be appealing,” Oliver said. “And that’s frankly not by accident. She’s been trained in the art of Trump branding to be as vague and likable as possible so that everyone can plausibly think that she shares their values—whether or not that’s actually true. And if that sounds like a harsh thing for me to say about her, I will point out that she’s basically shared that message in one of her books.”
