Veteran comedian and filmmaker Mel Brooks did not let a White House ceremony stop him Thursday from joking around with President Obama, pretending to pull the commander in chief’s suit pants down.

Twenty-three honorees were at the White House to receive the National Medals of Arts and Humanities for their achievements. Brooks was one of them and was honored for his contributions to comedy and making the world laugh.

“The 2015 National Medal of Arts to Mel Brooks for a lifetime of making the world laugh. As a writer, director, actor, and musician he pioneered the art of musical comedy in his hilarious and thought provoking work on film and in theater have earned him the rare distinction of winning Oscar, Emmy, Tony, and Grammy awards,” an announcer said.
