# Creepy Joe Biden Creepy Joe Biden is a running collection of photos and GIFs showing then Vice President Joe Biden whispering into women's ears, kissing them, and holding them at White House swearing-in ceremonies. The meme took off in early 2015 after Biden leaned in to kiss a senator's young daughter on camera, and the 'Creepy Uncle Joe' label stuck to the images for years afterward. ## Overview Creepy Joe Biden is a running collection of candid photos and animated GIFs showing then Vice President Joe Biden getting physically close to women and girls during official White House events. The images typically catch him whispering into an ear from behind, kissing a cheek, or resting his hands on shoulders while the woman visibly pulls back or freezes up[2]. Online, the 'Creepy Uncle Joe' nickname quickly got attached to the same footage[1]. Most of the source material came from Senate swearing-in ceremonies, where the tradition of a family group photo with the VP gave Biden repeated close-contact moments in front of cameras[1]. The format works because a single still frame or short loop isolates one awkward micro-moment, letting viewers replay Biden's face inches from someone's ear. ## How It Spread On February 17, 2015, Redditor gaylord__focker posted a photo of Biden whispering into the ear of Stephanie Carter, wife of new Defense Secretary Ashton Carter, to /r/cringepics under the title 'Biden strikes again at new Def Sec swearing in speech.' The post pulled in more than 5,000 upvotes and 700 comments in a week. The next day, Redditor Maxb176 compiled a set titled 'Joe Biden: Serial Whisperer' on /r/pics that hit roughly 5,600 upvotes, and Redditor GodTroller submitted 'Inappropriate Joe Biden' to /r/NSFWFunny on February 19[3]. On February 20, Tumblr user makibanzai posted photoshopped edits placing Biden next to female anime characters, whispering and touching them the same way. The post picked up over 8,000 notes in four days, and a follow-up Imgur gallery titled 'Joe Biden and his waifus' was mirrored to /r/justneckbeardthings the next day[3]. The 'Creepy Uncle Joe' framing kept resurfacing for years. YouTuber Paul Joseph Watson uploaded a compilation called 'Creepy Uncle Joe' on November 22, 2017 splicing footage of Biden touching women and young girls[4]. In 2019, Kellyanne Conway invoked the phrase on air while discussing Democratic politician Lucy Flores's allegation that Biden had inappropriately kissed her, telling viewers to search 'Creepy Uncle Joe' online[1]. ## How to Use People typically pull a still frame or GIF of Biden mid-whisper or mid-lean and pair it with a caption casting the woman as unwilling or oblivious. A common convention is photoshopping him behind fictional characters, celebrities, or friends to recreate the 'serial whisperer' framing popularized by the 2015 Tumblr anime edits[3]. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### What is Creepy Joe Biden?
