Fake Marco Rubio Social Media Posts

Marco Rubio grabbed a water bottle during his 2013 State of the Union response and created one of the most replayed political moments in internet history. It was maybe three seconds of footage. He has served in the Senate for over a decade, run for president, and become Secretary of State, but the first thing most people think of is the water bottle. That is the comedic engine behind every fake Rubio post: a man who has accomplished serious things but cannot shake the silliest possible moment.

Rubio also has a distinctive public persona that sits somewhere between eager overachiever and cautious politician. He speaks in polished talking points that occasionally sound like they were focus-grouped by three different committees. He pivots away from confrontation with the smoothness of someone who has practiced in a mirror. When he tries to seem casual or relatable, there is always a slight stiffness, like a man wearing a suit to a pool party. All of this makes him perfect parody material across every platform.
