Spoofing Shepard Fairey's Obama "Hope" Posters

Shepard Fairey's Barack "Hope" design might be 2008�s most seminal image�his nomination in TIME's Top 100 Most Influential People poll is most certainly forthcoming. But the poster's also become a hugely popular design to lampoon. Here're the best 25 parodies out there.

oh, I really wish you didn't group this with the "best" spoofs; it's nasty in a way the others are and you know it.
Comment by Cambra from Brooklyn on Oct 30th, 2008, 22:33 pm
you've got to be kidding...including this one...even now a strong woman (and what other kind would be considered for president)has to deal with this chauvinistic crap.
Comment by Blue from new york on Oct 31st, 2008, 07:31 am
I've been a Barack supporter since day one, HATED what Hillary said about Barack in the primaries, and it will take me a long while to forgive her, but this? It sucks. Lame lame lame.

Comment by Christoph Heidrich from Berlin on Oct 31st, 2008, 20:00 pm
Dont think Hillary is a bitch. Selfish cow, yes. Wanted Obama to pay her $20mil debt. Wouldn't leg go of her failed campaign until its corpse was drawing flies. Campaigned for Obama for about 10 minutes. Insincere, phoney, and actually yes, BITCH.
Comment by Doug from NYC on Oct 31st, 2008, 22:21 pm
Fuckin lighten up people, it's humor! - don't get your panties all tied up in a knot, (no pun)
Comment by mike strong from LA on Oct 31st, 2008, 22:25 pm
Hate to be contrary, but I'm pretty sure that isn't MF Doom. Looks like Victor von Doom the comic book character rather than MF Doom the rapper. Just a heads up.
Comment by Adrian from New York on Nov 1st, 2008, 04:46 am
Because you've provided a link, I now know that the Luke Skywalker one was made by Ironic Sans. Great job with that! Now, you may not know how the Internet works, but you can actually add additional links for all the OTHER posters, too. And since I'm pretty sure that these were all culled from the collection that Rene put together here: http://www.posterpage.ch/exhib/ex216oba/ex216oba.htm you can even use the links that he provided! It's a fantastic thing, giving credit to people who've made content you've featured on your site. The Mavis Beacon one is mine and it took me fucking hours.
Comment by lonelysandwich from Los Angeles on Nov 1st, 2008, 13:28 pm
slide show loads too slowly. artists not named and no explanation given as to how the pictures were collected. I feel that you are hiding part of the story here.
Comment by a from NYC on Nov 2nd, 2008, 20:19 pm
mildly amusing...all except for GROPE. i laughed out loud at that one.
Comment by Lazzi from Kaneohe on Nov 3rd, 2008, 10:22 am
We owe Fairey a print of Obamawitz. One of the best things to come of our campaign against Sheldon Silver, besides some long overdue raking over the coals in his home turf.
Comment by Evan Hutchison from NYC on Nov 4th, 2008, 00:58 am
Thank you lonelysandwich (#15)! The Rene Wanner site you provided is awesome. As a librarian, I am shocked that the Village Voice would just put these up without giving proper credit.
Comment by BuffaloAmy from Buffalo on Nov 4th, 2008, 12:13 pm
How you guys missed Barackbar is beyond me as it's the best spoof imho. http://barackbar.com/
Comment by Tom from Stamford, CT on Nov 5th, 2008, 19:14 pm
I dunno, this one is easily my favorite: http://www.ironicsans.com/2008/09/in_a_political_campaign_far_far_away.html

Comment by John from Austin on Nov 13th, 2008, 10:24 am
These are great! I even fashioned my wedding "save-the-date" cards after Shepard Fairey's iconic design! http://www.flickr.com/photos/jys/3039572004/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/jys/3038725097/in/photostream/
Comment by Ji from Los Angeles on Nov 19th, 2008, 20:49 pm
This is a commentary on the undercurrent of the fear (by some individuals - both male and female)of strong intelligent women who are capable of leadership. It makes no sense to me. Only makes me sad.
