People have been making fun of Bernie Sanders after he used a poster-sized tweet by Donald Trump during a debate.

The Democrat politician was attempting to make a serious point.

He wanted to show the difference between what the president-elect had said about healthcare in the past and what he's now saying.

But the internet was ready. And there are now dozens of memes, replacing Trump's tweet with other ideas.

Here's a slightly fuzzy screen grab from the debate.

If you can't read the tweet, here's the original from May 2015.

But if you put a big Donald Trump tweet on a screen, then you're asking for the predictable to happen...

And it didn't take long for them to start flooding in.

For example, @kept_simple went back to 2012, to remind us how Donald Trump thought Robert Pattinson should dump Kristen Stewart.

Important stuff.

Others used an old tweet to suggest Bernie Sanders was talking about sport...

There was also the search for the answers to some important life questions.

Some memes featured personalities we thought we'd left behind in 2016, including Harambe and Cecil the lion.

And of course, no meme list would be complete without the obligatory "Ed Balls".
