AboutWhat does the meme depict?
The Joe Biden Moveset meme consists of a series of photographs and AI-generated images depicting U.S. President Joe Biden in exaggerated, dynamic poses reminiscent of actions from a video game character's moveset. These images often show Biden in various energetic actions such as casting a blast, shouting powerfully, or dashing swiftly. The visual style mimics that of fighting or action video games, adding a humorous, fictional layer to Biden's public persona.
OriginWho did it first?
The Joe Biden Moveset meme originated from a YouTube thumbnail used by a YouTuber named Michael Knowles in his video titled "Biden Bans African | Ep. 895" posted on November 30, 2021. This video discussed a ban on travel related to the Omicron COVID-19 variant, featuring a photoshopped image of Biden performing a stopping gesture with his hand. The meme gained further popularity when a Redditor named smaltkarna created a collage of AI-generated images depicting Biden in various dramatic actions on December 6, 2022. Subsequently, the meme spread to Twitter (now X), where users like ImLazyAsHell and bennyjohnson contributed new images to the meme, enhancing its popularity. The phrase 'Biden Moveset' was officially coined by a Twitter (now X) user named turnitipspam on February 8, 2023.[1]
