The best part of Mark Zuckerberg appearing in front of Congress was the memes

Thankfully, there were memes.

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg had his big day on Capitol Hill on Tuesday, testifying in front of the Senate judiciary and commerce committees about the Cambridge Analytica data scandal, which has rocked the company for the last few weeks.

As is the case with most congressional hearings, it was long, slow, and well, boring to watch for most. But with all eyes on a figure as large as Zuckerberg, the internet was in peak meme mode.

There were plenty of robot and lizard jokes.

There were also tons of references to the 2010 film The Social Network. 

Overall, Zuck’s awkwardness was completely picked apart. 

Even Getty Images took a jab.

And there was plenty of Myspace nostalgia.

Zuckerberg was not the only person to get ripped apart.
