This is right up there with those shitty Trump memes where they shop out his turkey neck and paste his body on Schwarzenegger

You're right, they are both pretty hilarious. If only Biden were literally selling his as an NFT like Trump has.

Corn pop was a bad dude!

It's not so funny when they do it, simply because they aren't joking

Yeah you need an extra level of irony to make it funny.

They do it to meme.

We do it to mock their meme.

For them it's a form of fascistic kayfabe.

It feels like these are just so forced just in reply to those Trump memes. Biden is just too bland and bleh for these to be funny.

The fact that he's an uninspiring and largely disappointing president is what makes dark Brandon funny. If we wanted to laugh about a president who really does act like a demonic entity, we'd just vote for the other guy.

To me it just feels forced, which totally ruins it. I've seen similar memes about turbo boring politicians and that's funny, but I guess with Trump being a legit case of this sorta nonsense makes it feel different.
