If you needed more proof that we are living in the dumbest timeline, look no further than the J.D. Vance couch memes.
In the past few weeks, we’ve witnessed enough American history to fill a semester, and now the internet is buzzing over whether J.D. Vance had an intimate encounter with a couch. Yes, you read that right.
The Twitter frenzy began with a tweet jokingly claiming that J.D. Vance wrote about having sex with a rubber glove stuffed between the cushions of a couch in his memoir “Hillbilly Elegy.”
Given the book’s candid exploration of Vance’s tumultuous youth, the outlandish claim wasn’t entirely beyond belief for some.
The Viral Spread
People latched onto the tweet, and it quickly went viral. Memes about J.D. Vance “smashing” a couch spread like wildfire across social media.
The combination of absurdity and the plausibility of a teenager’s curiosity made the meme fuel for the internet.
Fact-Checking the Farce
As the memes reached critical mass, the Associated Press stepped in to fact-check the claim. Their article, headlined “No, J.D. Vance did not have sex with a couch,” clarified that the tweet was a fabrication.
However, the AP later deleted the article because, while they debunked the tweet, they couldn’t definitively verify that Vance had never had sex with a couch.
This ambiguity only added more fuel to the meme fire.
The J.D. Vance Couch Meme Explosion
Now that you’re caught up, here are some of the funniest memes to emerge from the whole event. Even though the claim isn’t true (according to the AP), the memes are still hilarious—and perhaps even funnier given the absurdity of the situation.
From photoshopped images to witty captions, the internet has truly outdone itself with this latest viral sensation.
In the age of misinformation and rapid-fire meme culture, this one serves as a prime example of how a simple joke can spiral into a full-blown internet phenomenon.
