Joe Biden ridiculed as a cartoon character from “Beavis and Butthead”
What happened? As Joe Biden listened to a question from CNN presenter Anderson Cooper, the US President stood on the stage, arms crossed in front of him and fists closed. It was precisely this scene that prompted countless Twitter users to make an extremely tasteless comparison. Or is that funny after all? Perhaps that also depends to a certain extent on the political worldview. In any case, the Twitter users felt reminded of the cult cartoon “Beavis and Butthead” and flooded the platform with a suitable image of Beavis, who is known for this nervous pose.
Joe Biden laughed at Twitter for TV appearance
“Biden is a real comedy! Uhhhh Beavis ……” tweeted former Australian NBA player Andrew Bogut with a laughing emoji on his face. Social media personality and commentator Mike Cernovich tweeted a video of Biden with his arms crossed and asked, “What is Biden doing?” Dozens of Twitter users inundated Cernovich’s responses, drawing the comparison between the president and the cartoon character. “That or he is about to turn into Cornholio,” wrote one user, referring to Beavis’ hyperactive alter ego that usually makes this gesture.
