When the nation is hurting and insecurity and fear threaten to take over, you can always look to the internet for a cooling salve of humor and humanity.

This weekend, as people continued to languish in the horrific news that Donald Trump is our president-elect, a new hilarious trend began to sweep the web.

The newest phenomenon dubbed “Biden Bro,” features comical photos of President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden alongside hilarious fake conversations between Joe and Barry, with rascally Joe trying to invent ways to give incoming Trump a hard time – and just generally acting like a child.

It’s kind of hard to explain – here, I’ll show you:

Here, Joe is scheming ways to booby trap the White House for Trump’s arrival in late January.

hahahahaha-joe

Another theme of these fun images is childish Joe loving Barack a bit too much.

But then Joe goes back to being a rascally, scrappy man.

haha-joe-2

Joe thinks of a clever way to make Mike Pence uncomfortable.

hah-joe

Joe never wants the Obamas to leave him.

hahh-joee

Joe can’t turn down a bargain.

hahah-joe

 

If you don’t get it by now, you never will. Now we just need Biden to respond to these hilarious memes.
