Biden actually does tell self-deprecating jokes. He would totally say this, but not out of ignorance. He would chuckle at the end. He's way sharper than the media pretends. Notice how Trump is practically a corpse already and yet the media doesn't say a word about how old he is? He was and is worse than Biden, but the "old" criticisms were reserved for Biden ONLY. Because bias in the media does exist, but it's not in favor of Democrats.

That's become almost all their political sketches. There's really no way to spoof or parody something when the thing you're parodying is itself vastly more absurd and outlandish and batshit than anything you possibly could think up to mock it.
