You’re proooobably aware that there is a presidential race afoot, but you may not be aware that there’s a new candidate running for President. Yep, Captain Obvious is running in the presidential race. I mean literally running. On foot.

Captain Obvious

Yep, the Captain is running through all fifty states plus Washington D.C. and has made a video for each and every one. If you visit CaptainObviousRunsForPresident.com you can check out his videos and hotel recommendations for each state. Looks like when he was in North Carolina he stayed in Asheville. Hey, I just visited Asheville!

You can join over 300K other Captain Obvious followers on his verified Twitter, where he tweets about participating in the presidential “race” and other miscellaneous ridiculousness like this:

You can’t take somebody under your wing if you only have arms.

— Captain Obvious (@CaptainObvious) February 17, 2016

Tomorrow is another day. A Wednesday. Actually.

— Captain Obvious (@CaptainObvious) February 16, 2016

When the hotline bling, it can only mean one thing. Someone is calling the hotline.

— Captain Obvious (@CaptainObvious) January 19, 2016

I know I’m always keen to find humorous new Instagram and Twitter account to follow, so Captain Obvious is right up my alley. You can go follow him right here. Or don’t. We live in a democracy.

Have you heard of Captain Obvious? What are some other funny Twitter accounts I should be following?
