Best Election Day Memes From The Rest of the World

As Americans vote on Election Day, the rest of the world is watching on with baited breath, waiting to see who the U.S. will choose as their next president.

President Donald Trump and former vice president Joe Biden have been campaigning for months in a tense run-up to election day, and while the U.S. can influence today's decision by heading out and voting, everyone else can simply look on.

Some international Twitter users have been celebrating election day sharing memes that encapsulate the experience of watching from afar, with many suggesting that the rest of the world is praying that the U.S. does not make the wrong decision, while others feel like they are simply watching a car crash.

One Twitter user shared a meme from The Simpsons that sees Homer wearing a red 'Make America Great Again' hat considering which button to press, representing the U.S., while his co-workers watch from the doorway, saying: "Get ready, everybody. They're about to do something stupid," representing the rest of the world worrying that the U.S. will re-elect Trump.

Twitter user Mark Nunn summed up the good luck messages from the rest of the world as they watch the stressful and potentially chaotic situation facing the U.S. on election day from afar.

Nunn shared a GIF of Leslie Nielsen as Dr. Rumack in the movie Airplane! As he says: "I just want to tell you all good luck. We're all counting on you," from a scene in which the pilot is pouring with sweat, trying to stop the plane from crashing on the runway as frantic people in the airport sprint to find the right gate, which keeps changing as the plane skids out of control.

Another user said: "When I say the world is watching... Please America trending in the U.K." The phrase "Please America" had more than 37,000 tweets at the time that this tweet was sent, as it was trending in the U.K. alongside #VoteHimOut and #4MoreYears.

A Twitter user named "Meanwhile in Canada" shared a photo of a pumpkin carved to look like Trump and said: "Dear America, What's orange and hollow, and should be thrown out at the beginning of November?" and used the hashtags #GlobalEmbarrassment and #SeriouslyWTF.

Twitter user Wilfre posted the widely-shared "Damn b****, you live like this?" meme of Max and Roxanne from The Goofy Movie, but asked: "Damn USA, you vote like this?" as they stand in a dirty, messy room. Wilfre captioned his tweet: "the rest of the world watching the usa."

Though only the U.S. can decide the outcome of this election, it is clear that the whole world is watching—even if it's from behind their hands.
