While this festive attire ensured that Spicer [wouldn’t get pinched](http://time.com/4699771/green-irish-st-patricks-day-color/), it also afforded the Internet some lighthearted fun at his sartorial expense. Twitter user Jesse McLaren saw untapped potential in the green tie and used it as [a green screen](http://time.com/4552033/kentucky-weatherman-halloween/) for other video footage, resulting in a hilarious video that has now gone viral, clocking in at nearly 40,000 retweets and close to 70,000 favorites.
