DK for President

***DK for President*** is the seventh episode of the first season of *Cyberstars*. It was directed by David Ragin, and the skit was entirely improvised by DK Williams and Cortez Andre. It was released February 19, 2016 on YouTube.

## Synopsis

Following Barack Obama's tenure as the President of the United States, the newly elected incumbent DK Williams addresses the nation.

### Plot

Former President of the United States Barack Obama delivers his final address to the nation, in which he introduces his successor, DK Williams. DK then proceeds to answer questions regarding his presidency, such as concerns the number of homeless people in the United States, the ongoing war on drugs, gun control policy, homosexual marriage, pro-life vs. pro-choice, immigration, the "war on pancakes", capital punishment, and the conspiracy that the government is spying on citizens. Unfortunately (or fortunately, in this case), DK's flag video ends and the President's tech guy, who is also his cousin, loses the footage completely. DK remarks that his people "won't love him without his flag" before the video abruptly ends.

## Cast

## Trivia

* Throughout the sketch, DK changes his title multiple times: He is introduced as the next "President of the United States", then changes his title to "President Supreme Galactic Commander of Everything That You Know is Awesome", and then in the *Cyberstars* outro, DK once again changes his title, to "Galactic Overlord Presidential of Everything Awesome".
* DK shooting the camera when addressing gun control is a deep-cut reference to the *Graffiti 2* trailer #3 update video when he does the same thing.
* DK is the only *Cyberstars* member to appear onscreen.
	+ Likewise, Johnny is credited for the skit solely for his laughing during the *pro-life vs. pro-choice* question.

* DK performs the *Cyberstars* outro in character as the President, being the second person to perform the outro as a character in the skit. The first was David as Numbah 2147 in *Codename: Kids Next Door - The Next Generation*.
	+ Also, DK ends the outro yelling "let's get some flapjacks!". The group would literally go to IHOP following the shoot.

* During his opening speech, Obama calls out a girl named "Lasagna". Interestingly, a girl of the same name, spelled "Lasoinya", would later appear in *Love Sucks*.
* The skit is widely considered to be the worst *Cyberstars* skit.

#### Cultural References

* DK's theme song, which he simply calls "Track 8", is “Hail to the Chief Remix” by Yoe Mase.
* During DK's first question, he references X-Box Live, PlayStation Plus and the Nintendo eShop.
	+ Likewise, he directly names *Mario*, the 1-Up collectable, and the coin sound effect is heard

* When asked about *pro-life vs. pro-choice*, DK references Kilgrave from the *Jessica Jones* Netflix series.
* During the *capital punishment* question, DK references the move of the same name from *Tekken*, as well as the anime *CØDE:BREAKER**.***
