Playing on popular pop culture references like the Hunger Games and Carly Rae Jepson's 'Call Me Maybe,' the 'Hey Girl it's Paul Ryan' Tumblr makes some light, slightly sexual, jokes of the House Budget Committee Chairman and his "boyish looks."
Political satire photographs have been huge as of recent. With the 'Texts from Hillary' and 'Telegrams from Ron,' 'Hey Girl It's Paul Ryan' the Internet has seen a string of political figures with some great punchlines. With subtler lines like 'Hey girl, may the odds of the free market be ever in your favor' to straight-up 'Hey girl, lets get fiscal,' Ryan's debut in the world of Internet memes has definitely struck it big.
Taking a cue from the creators of 'Texts from Hillary,' who quit while they were ahead, the creators of 'Hey Girl, It's Paul Ryan' have ended their successful run. It's only a matter of time until the Internet is graced, once again, with another hysterical political-meme Tumblr.
