Remy Munasifi Tries to Find the Fun in Libertarian Thought

He’s opened for the rapper Wale and comedian Brian Posehn, formerly of The Sarah Silverman Program. And now Ron Paul.

Those are among Remy Munasifi’s eclectic credits. The 33-year-old comedian has ridden his Internet fame from the mean streets of Arlington, Va. — where he rapped in 2009 about his suburban neighborhood’s propensity for brown flip-flops and Starbucks outlets — to serving as a warm-up act for the Republican congressman from Texas at a “pro-liberty” student conference last week.

Munasifi, who still lives in Arlington County and makes a living producing comedic videos, has turned his satirical eye beyond suburban yuppies and toward politics — specifically the libertarian variety.

Since 2010, Munasifi has teamed with ReasonTV, linked to the libertarian think tank Reason Foundation, to create short rap parody videos.

He has lampooned the “Occupy Wall Street” movement, the debt ceiling, Jay Z and Beyonce’s Cuban vacation, and, most recently, Anthony Weiner’s sexting scandal. One of his catchier spoofs, Tap It: The NSA Slow Jam, satirizes the National Security Agency’s electronic-surveillance program.
