Clearly, President Obama was thinking about his fantasy lineup. Don't worry, POTUS. We all are. (Is Cam Newton starting or not?! TELL ME!)

Anyway, Obama made a mistake during his year-end review address, and we got the birth of a new meme and a new Twitter trend.

Unfortunately, everyone made the same damn joke.

Long story short: Baltimore quarterback Joe Flacco has been the topic of some fierce debate over the past couple of seasons over his status as an elite quarterback. He won a Super Bowl and he was the Super Bowl MVP, sure, but his QB ranking is usually somewhere in the middle. Does he deserve to be in the same sentence as Peyton Manning, Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers? You know, that kind of thing.

So when President Obama flubbed James Franco's name while discussing Sony pulling The Interview and called him James Flacco, the "elite" jokes were plentiful:

Then there were the people who were making a joke about the elite joke already being made:

However, some people on Twitter thought outside the box and thankfully made other jokes about Obama’s Adele Dazeem moment. Mostly using the Joe Biden window meme, which to us, never gets old.

Well, at least more people know who Joe Flacco is now.
