The White House Vine, known for surreal pop culture/political mash-ups like Michelle Obama's "Turnip... for what?" has a new bizarre video on Friday, featuring Vice President Joe Biden lifting weights and taking fake calls with world leaders. "I do a million of these a day, so just give me five," Biden says in the clip.

As planned, the clip inspired dozens of jokes on social media. "'-bo do you even lift?'" tweeted Fusion's Brett LoGiurato. "The line between IRL Joe Biden and Onion Joe Biden continues to blur," wrote BuzzFeed's Hayes Brown.
