Former vice president Joe Biden found fame around the world as the star of a series of hilarious viral memes — so much so that his online presence has earned him a legion of fans.
One particularly dedicated fan of the former vice president showed off their devotion to the politician’s online presence by proudly sharing a photo of a printed, Joe Biden meme onImgur, revealing that they had actually had it signed by Mr. Biden himself.
‘My mom’s business is near where Joe lives. I asked her to ask him to sign this meme if he ever came in. He is a real nice guy,’ the user, who goes by Tunnelofplatonicfriendship on the platform, wrote.
Signature: A fan of Joe Biden proudly shared a photo of a printed, signed Joe Biden meme on Imgur on Sunday, saying the politician autographed it
Friendship: In the photo, Obama and Biden can be seen hugging, while an imaginary dialogue sees Biden demanding that Obama stay with him forever instead of eight years
He shared two pictures that show the meme printed from Twitter, with the signature at the bottom.
Above the signature, a handwritten message states: ‘Still good friends. Always be loyal!’
The message is presumably a reference to Biden’s longtime friend Barack Obama, who appears along with Biden in the picture on which the meme is based.

Biden hasn’t confirmed it is indeed his signature on the meme, but the autograph closely resembles the former vice president’s signature, as seen on other documents.
He’s in on the joke: Biden himself has acknowledged the memes and picked his favorite one
Bromance: In November, Obama used a meme to wish Biden a happy birthday on Twitter
Having a look: The memes imagine Biden having a last laugh at the White House before Trump takes office
Coming up: Some of Biden’s imagined pranks included replacing the toiletries with travel-size bottles for Trump’s tiny hands’
Obama and Biden have both acknowledged and embraced the existence of the memes paying a tribute to their friendship.
When Obama left the White House, many of the memes featured Biden lamenting the end of their team work, or mischievously stating he had planned pranks for Obama’s successor, Donald Trump.
In November, Obama used a meme to wish Biden a happy birthday on Twitter, imagining a situation where Biden interrupted him before Obama had a chance to acknowledge the day during a speech.
Biden’s daughter Ashley previously told Moneyish that her father ‘sat there for an hour and laughed’ when he first discovered the memes.
She then said that her father’s favorite one was a meme of him and Obama hugging, above a text dedicated to their eight years in the White House.
Incidentally, it is the same meme shared by the Imgur user on Sunday.
