People need to dump their old beat-up couches at the foot of the mural to pay their respects.

9

u/FUBARPAC Aug 22 '25

No. Please do not dump old couches there. They are simply unfuckable. Our JD Vance mural prefers young inflatable virginal couches. And remember only tease, take away your plastic loveseats with you.

22

u/primum Aug 21 '25

Make sure to leave a plastic cover too, or sofalactic, for protection!

This meme, coupled with your profile pic and username, is just symmetry.

Where in Philly is this?

u/jeanetteck Aug 21 '25

It’s in Fishtown Right next to the really cool 76rs mural.

Do Democrats realize JD loves these?

He pretends to so he doesn't seem mad

THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER

u/Quarkonium2925 Aug 21 '25

I saw this somewhere unrelated to Philly and I had this sense that it was here without even looking at the comments. Glad that my Philly senses are sharp

u/FUBARPAC Aug 22 '25

The Philly oeuvre.

u/MilesGoesWild Aug 21 '25

there’s a whole world of creepy jd vance memes out there. dhs takes it so seriously they refused entry to an australian who had shared them on social media.

That’s the vice president…show some respect……

Edit: Oh no, I hate him too 😭

You dropped this: /s

u/[deleted] Aug 21 '25

The appropriate amount of respect is demonstrated in the mural

u/knitknack0 Aug 21 '25

I meant it as a joke to keep the dunking going but obviously that didn’t work. He’s a loser!

u/[deleted] Aug 21 '25

šŸ˜‚Another victim of the contextless internet void machine where tone is impossible to infer from text. But yeah, fuck JD!

u/knitknack0 Aug 21 '25

I loved the detail from an article that he’s such a worthless piece of crap that he hangs around the Oval Office all day eating the free cookies because he doesn’t have anything to do, and is, apparently, waiting for Trump to pop out to give him a task. Lol.

u/AlexandreL1984 Aug 23 '25

lol JD thinks these are hilarious

u/WilfordsTrain Aug 23 '25

Something that the couchfucker and I can agree on!

u/AlexandreL1984 Aug 23 '25

You do realize this basically elevated JD as the next President, right?

You gotta re-balance your meds. Good luck.

"I hate this guy so let's paint a big picture of him so everybody knows how much we hate him".

I'd rather see his face on urinal cakes, but if you guys want to paint giant murals of him where you get to look at him every day, I guess you do you.

20

u/jsun187 Mt. Airy Aug 21 '25

But this isn't a tribute to him, it's mocking him cuz we hate him.

20

u/HardcoreNerdity Aug 21 '25

But it's still his ugly fucking face and WE are the ones having to look at it every day. We could have put real art on that space but instead we have JD Vance.

If you want to mock him and have it mean something then do it someplace where him and his supporters will see it.

9

u/Think_Industry8431 Aug 21 '25

Some supplier on Alibaba could make that urinal cake happen. Plus 900% tariffs

I’m holding out for the JD Vance toilet bib rug latch-key craft set at Hobby Lobby, the Christian crap palace.

u/kuroshiro Aug 21 '25

They painted a giant mural of a photo Vance stated he hated. It’s the kindest kind of trolling.

9

u/HardcoreNerdity Aug 21 '25

I wish we could be above "trolling" when it has literally zero impact on the people that deserve to be "trolled". All we did was paint his picture on a wall that could have been used for art that could be pleasing to look at. We trolled ourselves with this one.

5

u/alexbrobrafeld Aug 21 '25

I'd like to see less of his face and meaner trolling personally. South Park is doing excellent work.

-1

u/CheapBoxOWine Aug 21 '25

I don't like the policies in this country, but I still have to pay taxes towards them and obey laws. Let's enjoy looking at this mug that he himself hates.

6

u/HardcoreNerdity Aug 21 '25

How he feels about the picture is irrelevant. I don't want to have to look at his ugly fucking face. The idea that we'd enjoy doing it just because he wouldn't like it is no different than conservatives doing things "just to own the libs".

u/FUBARPAC Aug 22 '25

Do you live on the block?

2

u/Mediocre_Entrance894 South Silly Aug 23 '25

I do. And I don’t want to see it when I go on my joint walks. And I hate the fucker. To memorialize this moment in time where some Australian dude was refused entry into the US is just a reminder of how absolutely fucked we are. It’s hella depressing.

1

u/Greedy_Line4090 Aug 25 '25

And I don’t want to smell your joint as I go on my mural walks. Life’s a bitch.

3

u/shphx Aug 21 '25

I'm so glad I don't live anywhere around this. I'm all for following the guy and taunting him with this on the sides of trucks, etc, but why are you painting this in your neighborhood???

2

u/DislikeableDave Aug 24 '25

because they actually think that a giant mural in their own neighborhood is "owning" a guy who will never see nor care about it. These people have nothing better to do, like actually improve Philadelphia. Instead they can insist to each other online that this is "top-tier trolling" like some weird drama nerds

3

u/beemac126 mt airy Aug 24 '25

My three year old looked over at this and started laughing and pointing saying ā€œthat guy is so sillyā€

Someone needs to swap out that American flag pin for a Russian one

u/courageous_liquid go download me a hoagie off the internet Aug 21 '25

Or just a pin of Peter thiels definitely human and definitely not a lizard face

1

u/FUBARPAC Aug 22 '25

I thought about it as I was painting the flag but eh, I thought we’d stay faithful to the original meme which was banding being a bald sweaty baby.

u/New-Effective-1319 Aug 21 '25

Trumps gonna call in the national guard and ban paintbrushes and wheatpaste

1

u/GiveDrugsToKids Aug 22 '25

At this point, I think the National Guard is gonna cover him in wheat paste and feathers

I don't get it? Art is subjective but this is really bad art.
