About Last Night... (The Jumping Ground)

"About Last Night…" is the twelfth episode in the twelfth season of the New Zealand-American animated television series The Jumping Ground. The 179th episode of the series overall, it originally aired on Cartoon Network in the United States on April 1, 2009.

The episode was written by Andy Mikita and Ryan Todd, and directed by Danny Cannon.

The episode depicts a fictionalized Barack Obama five months after winning the presidential election against Henry Hayes. In a satire of American Partisan Politics, mass hysteria ensues as Liberals celebrate with drunken rioting and Conservatives experience apocalyptic panic.

Meanwhile, Obama, McCain, and their respective campaign staffs are revealed to be a gang of jewel thieves who have rigged the Election. In a parody of the films Ocean's Eleven and Entrapment, Obama and McCain use the hype and fear of Election Night to carry out a high-tech heist from the Smithsonian.

Co-creators Lee Eisenhower and Conrad Vernon briefly considered parodying Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight by having then-President George W. Bush gallantly take the blame for the Smithsonian heist. They decided against it, however, as they felt that jokes about President Bush had been "done to death".
