"This is not good."

Joe Biden may have won the South Carolina primary, but there's one battle he's most definitely not winning: the war against constantly making gaffes in public.

In the clip above from The Daily Show, Trevor Noah breaks down some of his most recent ones — from calling Fox host Chris Wallace "Chuck" by mistake, to repeatedly fumbling his words at a rally.

"This is not good," says Noah. "Just in the past 24 hours, Joe has gaffed everything. From the name of a TV anchor he was talking to, to the Declaration of Independence.

"And the name thing, on its own, is bad, because interviews are sort of like sex — it doesn't matter how well it goes, if you call the person the wrong name at the end, the whole thing is ruined."

Noah's life hack for avoiding these types of awkward naming mishaps?

"I just call everybody 'buddy'," says the host. "That way I can never mess up."
