Former Vice President Joe Biden is celebrating his 75th birthday today, so we decided to round up our all-time favorite Biden memes for your viewing pleasure. We really miss seeing this dude on the regular, so we'll be dreaming of a Biden 2020 campaign for the rest of the day.

The "He Protec but He Also Attac" meme format (which is intentionally misspelled) first came on the meme scene in November of 2016. This first meme depicts a naked man holding a light saber in a calm, yet defensive pose (protec) and then the same man wielding the saber in a threatening manner (attac.)

While the format could easily be applied to a myriad of characters, it took three months for the template to start springing up on Reddit. The meme is making a huge comeback on the r/dankmemes subreddit. Instead of just using the protec/attac panels, meme makers are starting to introduce a third panel with a quality that rhymes with "attac." 

Anyone who's seen their friendship bracelets knows that Barack Obama and Joe Biden are best friends. The internet took that a step further with imagined conversations that are at times adorable and always hilarious. Now, with Donald Trump as the President Elect, these memes just keep getting better.
