Vice President JD Vance has unexpectedly become a target of the internet’s meme culture - and has shared his thoughts on the craze.
What began as a niche joke among social media users has now snowballed, turning Vance's facial characteristics into memes so exaggerated that some users claim they've forgotten what the real vice president even looks like.
The Vice President's face has appeared stretched, shrunk, rounded, and distorted in all manner of ways as fans and critics share their views, make light of recent events or share their views.
And now, Vance himself has spoken.
'I can confirm VP Vance has seen many of the memes/edits of his pictures and thinks it's a funny trend,' journalist Julio Rosas of The Blaze reported on X after traveling with him.
The viral images range from Vance as a baby-faced cherub clutching a lollipop, to a brooding emo rocker, to an absurdly plump version of himself saying, 'You have to say pwease and tank you, Mistow Zensky.'
The meme-fueled frenzy erupted following Vance's Oval Office heated exchange with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky last Friday.
During the meeting Vance demanded, 'Have you said thank you once?'
What started as a simple parody of Vance's aggressive questioning quickly spiraled into an out-of-control internet meme.

In Germany EVERY ONE of these meme creators would be in JAIL right now, and it would be the people who these meme creators support that would be throwing them into JAIL.
The Left can’t meme. It isn’t just a saying, it’s verifiably true to anyone following meme “culture” for the last 10+ years.
The Onion used to be funny. They were Leftist. But they used to know how to make jokes. That was 20 years ago.
There are some decent ones here, currently:

This reminds me of the giant Trump / Warhammer god-emperor in the parade in Germany? Italy? wherever.
They made it as a slam on Trump. Everyone in Trump’s corner loved it, adopted it, and it was just a total own-goal for those who put in considerable effort to make it. People still jokingly refer to Trump as GEOTUS, God Emperor Of The US, over at The Donald, Patriots.win.

Anyway, the Left tries to meme Vance, the right and Vance adopt it and have huge fun with it, the Left looks like fools that can’t meme once again.
J.D. has been having a ball with these memes.
The way you keep people from teasing you is you join in the fun to show it doesn't bother you (and I think J.D. really likes memes about him).
Germans are great at many things, but humor isn't one of them.
The left can’t meme. They don’t have a sense of humoe
Here, check this thread from Con. Mike Collins (R-GA 10th CD).

Elon Musk is the man to hate.
JD is the man to fear.
The constant active presence and loud clear voice of JD Vance creates darkness and fear in Democrat souls
This one’s pretty funny, too...

Note to Deep State: Hard to fear a man who can laugh at himself.
I know your front men are idiots, but now I’m really wondering about the people hiding behind them....
I’ve seen the clip a number of times. First time for a still of AOC. Is that her house? Zebra print? Really?
Well, at least JD's not in the shower scene...yet.
🤣

Vance has the advantage of being part of a confident, intellectually robust community.
That means he can have sense of humor.
Think about what that says about the famous woke war on jokes that we all have had to put up with for years.
