Joe Biden found himself on the receiving end of a brutal mocking by US comedian and presenter Jimmy Kimmel as he opted to mark the US President’s 81st birthday with a game.
Kimmel marked Biden’s big day with a game of ‘Older or Younger?’, and asked whether items such as kitty litter are older than the president.
Speaking on ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live!, the comedian called on his audience to guess whether Biden, who is the oldest ever US President, is older or younger than items such as cake mix, bras and corn flakes.
"Joe Biden turned 81, which means he’s not only the oldest president ever, but he’s also older than just about everything in the world”, he joked.

Much to the amusement of the audience, it was established that Biden is “older than Tupperware”.
Going through the random assortment of everyday items, Kimmel revealed the president is older than cake mix, but the same age as 2-ply toilet paper.

The President marked his birthday on Sunday with a crushing blow, as it was suggested that he is becoming increasingly unpopular with voters.
A new poll, conducted by NBC News, indicated that his approval rating had sunk to a new low of 40 per cent.
Biden has promised he will stand for a second term next November, at the end of which he would be 86.
Other Democrats could have something to say about that with rumours continuing to ramp up about other candidates wading into the race.
Biden’s stance on Israel is proving to be a sticking point among his bases, with young people in particular rejecting his refusal to call for a ceasefire.
Among voters aged between 18 and 34, 70 per cent disapprove of Biden’s handling of the war.
Donald Trump is the strong favourite to win the Republican nomination next year, but his legal travails could end up scuppering his campaign.
Other surveys indicate that Trump has a lead in a contest between him and Biden when it comes to public approval.
