From [birthday friendship bracelets](http://time.com/4439262/barack-obama-birthday-joe-biden/) to the [Presidential Medal of Freedom](http://time.com/4633604/joe-biden-obama-cries-medal/), their relationship became an internet meme sensation throughout their tenure in office. There’s even a social media handle called [Motivational Biden](https://www.facebook.com/MotivationalBiden/) dedicated purely to Joe Biden memes. While an abundance of witty captions and photos featuring [Obama and Biden](http://time.com/barack-obama-joe-biden-friendship-photos/) have long circulated the web, the vice president has now named his top contender. Biden’s daughter, Ashley, told [_Moneyish_](https://moneyish.com/ish/this-is-joe-bidens-favorite-obama-biden-bromance-meme/) that when she broke the meme news to her dad, Biden “sat there for an hour and laughed.” His favorite? Ultimately, Biden’s top-choice meme wasn’t his [Medal of Honor-turned-best-friends-forever-necklace](http://time.com/4634470/joe-biden-barack-obama-best-friends-forever-necklace/), but rather a photo of he and Obama standing next to Michelle Obama and Jill Biden with a funny caption. > [](https://twitter.com/TheDiLLon1/status/788114505624612864) Joe Biden Best Obama Friendship Meme ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4701470/joe-biden-favorite-meme/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4701470/joe-biden-favorite-meme/"},"headline":"Joe Biden's Official Favorite Obama Bromance Meme Is Very Loving","datePublished":"2017-03-14T20:35:47.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:41:54.317Z","description":"Hint: it wasn't the friendship bracelet","url":"https://time.com/4701470/joe-biden-favorite-meme/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Internet","viral","onetime"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt52cbb115d5165afa/698876d0ab6d7750646a7b92/biden-obama.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"TIME Staff","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/time-staff/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt52cbb115d5165afa/698876d0ab6d7750646a7b92/biden-obama.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"biden-obama","caption":"President Obama and Joe Biden during a pre-Olympic exhibition basketball game in July 2012 in Washington, DC.","creditText":"Patrick Smith—Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4701470/joe-biden-favorite-meme/","name":"Joe Biden's Official Favorite Obama Bromance Meme Is Very Loving"}}]}] ```
