As you may know, each December former US president Barack Obama releases his 'Best of' lists from the year.
On them, he names the books, TV shows, films and music that he's rated most highly throughout the year.
His most recent list - released on Saturday - even named Irish author Sally Rooney's 'Normal People' as one of his books of 2019.
However, one of his TV inclusions has raised a few eyebrows for a particularly funny reason.
Like many of us, Obama cited Season 2 of 'Fleabag' as one of his top TV shows of 2019 - listing it alongside 'Watchmen' and 'Unbelievable' as 'TV shows that [he] considered as powerful as movies.'
However, as many people have pointed out on social media, a particular scene in the pilot of 'Fleabag' features the title character masturbating to one of Obama's speeches.
Obama watches Fleabag.
Presuming he's also seen Series 1 this means he's watched a woman wanking off to one of his speeches.
It's things like this why I have Twitter. https://t.co/yqjcYOEGLB— Rachel Griffiths (@Rache1Griffiths) December 29, 2019

So does this mean that Obama watched the first season of Fleabag, in which Fleabag masturbates to Obama? pic.twitter.com/qoAz2MA7SO

Barack Obama choosing Fleabag - which includes a scene of the lead character masturbating to one of Obama’s own speeches - as one of his favourite TV shows of 2019 is the kind of energy we all need.

Or maybe he knew exactly what he was doing. Either way, it's funny...
