Joe Biden appeared confused and rambling once again during a press conference on the world stage.

The embarrassing moment unfolded in Hanoi, Vietnam where he eventually told the audience that he was going to bed.

“One of my staff members said, remember the famous song ‘Good Morning Vietnam’? Well, good evening, Vietnam,” Biden said, making his best attempt to deliver an awkward joke. No one was laughing. (Poll: Is Joe Biden Fit to be President? VOTE)

Biden was referring to the 1987 anti-Vietnam War movie Good Morning, Vietnam.

Biden agreed to take questions from a prepared list of people. “They gave me five people here,” Biden said before calling on specific reporters. “I’m just following my orders here,” he said.

At one moment in the press conference, Biden used the derogatory term, “the Third World” in reference to developing countries. He quickly corrected himself.

“Did you ever think you’d be sitting at a G-20 conference where everyone was preoccupied with the notion of global warming? Not a joke, did you ever think that?” he said.

“Well there’s a lot of lying dog-faced pony soldiers out there about global warming,” he said. “But not anymore. All of a sudden, they’re all realizing it — there’s a problem. And there’s nothing like seeing the light.”

“Staff, is there any one I haven’t spoken to?” Biden asked. Reporters yelled out for questions, but he grew angry and shouted, “I ain’t calling on you!”
