During his six months in the Trump Administration, Spicer’s combative press conferences, goofy fumbles and brash assertions of questionable truth became fodder for jokes, including a memorable parody on “Saturday Night Live” by actress Melissa McCarthy.

His morning tweet that looked like it could have been a password sparked a ton of interest from social media users who had a field day with the gaffe. It ended up not being all that official, according to Newsweek, and the situation was quickly rectified.

Just for having his pin upside down, a universal symbol of distress, people wondered if the rotated accessory signaled he wanted out in a stealth way, or perhaps it was just a nod to the dark Netflix political drama House of Cards.

Wearing a kelly green tie for St. Patrick’s Day may have been a traditional move, but with it he gave the internet the perfect canvas for its favorite grand tradition: projecting everything it wanted to see.

Amid the online fallout resulting from the trio of blunders — Pepsi’s tone-deaf Kendall Jenner ad, United Airlines’ overbooking crisis and Sean Spicer’s incorrect Hitler comments — comedian Chris Melberger created a meme that perfectly encapsulated the trifecta of missteps.

As soon as New England Patriots star tight end Rob Gronkowski popped into his domain with an offer to tap in a kind of fight: the daily face-off with the fourth estate, Spicer’s legitimate surprise at the entrance took off.

This time, the Press Secretary became a meme without uttering a single word. Spicer made headlines after a disputed report that Spicer “hid in” — correction — huddled among a clump of bushes with his staff, after President Donald fired FBI Director James Comey. The internet was quick to come through with all the shrubbery-themed comedy.
