Despite a busy political agenda, Biden’s found time to be an [in-demand television cameo star](http://time.com/4513184/joe-biden-svu-cameo/), [an unofficial ambassador for aviator sunglasses](http://time.com/3882531/joe-biden-yale-graduation-speech/), and [everyone’s favorite prankster](http://nymag.com/selectall/2016/11/best-obama-biden-trump-joke-memes.html).

Of course, no one could forget when he went undercover with _Funny or Die_ and Adam Devine to crash a college party so he could talk about the importance of consent.
