Will Ferrell has reprised his popular impression of former US President George W. Bush for a new sketch spoofing the death of Osama Bin Laden.
The comic satirised the former president on an almost weekly basis on Saturday Night Live until he left the programme in 2002 and later revived the characterisation for a stage show called You're Welcome America: A Final Night with George W. Bush.
In a new sketch for comedy website Funny or Die, Ferrell sends up current President Barack Obama's recent confirmation of the death of the terrorist leader Bin Laden by having the leader's predecessor announce that he's captured a menace of his own.
The sketch begins as Ferrell's caricature of Bush addresses viewers from the buffet line at a Sizzler restaurant.

He quips: "Tonight, as of 1400 hours military time, I can report to America, the world and the folks here at the Sizzler StreakHouse on Canyon Ranch Road, right outside of my gate-guarded community here in Dallas, Texas, where I also frequently eat lunch, that I've personally overseen a strategic and covert operation that killed the gopher [that's] been tearing up my backyard."
He then credits a network of "reliable" sources in the animal community as aiding the capture of the gopher responsible for "terrorising" former First Lady Laura Bush's garden after several years of intelligence gathering.
After detailing the creature's violent death, the address is concluded as a secret service agent informs the president that Bin Laden had been captured.
He replied: "They got Bin Laden? Well, that's two good things!"
Earlier this week, Ferrell appeared on Conan O'Brien's talkshow to shave the TV presenter's beard.
He will guest on tonight's edition of The Office, which airs at 9:00pm ET/8:00pm CT on NBC.
