Vice Prez Joe Biden has always been a meme-generating wild man. But after Donald Trump's big win, the internet went into Biden overdrive.

The first thing to know: There are many styles in the Biden meme universe. The one that recently caught fire is known as "Prankster Joe Biden." Typically it's a screenshot of a simple dialogue exchange between Biden and buddy Barack Obama. Here's a favorite:

Biden: Can I use the bat signal?

Obama: Joe, I already told you, I'm not Batman.

Biden: But Gotham needs you.

Obama: Please stop.

Biden might be on his way out, but these memes will live forever.
