On Saturday night, elites from Washington and Hollywood gathered for "nerd prom," a.k.a. the annual White House Correspondents' dinner. Not only was the fashion totally on point (check out our full round-up of the best looks here), but because this was the Obama administration's final dinner, the president had to throw down a solid comedy game. Here's a look at some of his most standout moments from the night.
The president walked up to the podium to the tune of Anna Kendrick's "Cups."
That line "You're gonna miss me when I'm gone" would put a little swagger in anyone's step.

What kind of husband would Obama be if he didn't compliment the First Lady?
"Michelle hasn't aged a bit," he said. "The only way you can date her in photos is by looking at me." Extra points for the phenomenal visual aid he included, below:

Obama called out Prince George's adorable fashion statement.
The president was talking about foreign dignitaries anticipating his departure from office when he referenced one of the most-loved (junior) world leaders of all—and an incident we're still laughing about a week later. "Last week, Prince George showed up to our meeting in his bathrobe," he said. "That was a slap in the face. A clear breach of protocol."
The president took on the Democratic candidates.
Obama gave credit where credit was due in terms of campaign slogans. "Bernie's slogan has helped his campaign catch fire among young people. 'Feel the Bern.' 'Feel the Bern.' That's a good slogan. Hillary's slogan has not had the same effect," he said, with this accompanying image:
Though he also compared Clinton to "your relative who just signed up for Facebook," Obama did hint earlier in his speech that he thinks she might be standing in his place at next year's WHCD. "Next year at this time, someone else will be standing here in this very spot, and it's anyone's guess who she will be," he said.
And finally, that time Obama did a literal mike drop.
"Obama out." Enough said.
