It was only a matter of time.

When the White House released the instantly infamous President Obama gun photo, surprised Americans collectively gasped ... then fired up Photoshop.

Whether they pretended O was insisting on a live Beyonce halftime show, literally blowing a hole in the Constitution, warring with Queen Elizabeth II of England, allying with Communists or pointing a rifle backwards out of incompetence, the web had a field day with this one.

Follow the jump to see a bunch of other Obama gun photo parodies:

The Super Bowl itself ended up being pretty lights out in a different sense, but the highlight on social media was undoubtedly the 34-minute Superdome blackout.

You know what they say: When the lights go out in New Orleans, the party really starts ... to the tune of 231,500 time-killing tweets per minute in this case.

Here are some of the funniest and most timely ones, from celebs and regular folk, when half the stadium went dark inexplicably early in the third quarter:

Neil Patrick Harris
All the lights are out!! It’s pandemonium!! Thank god we have our Beyonce finger lights!

Aziz Ansari
WHOA WHOA WHOA. Is this power outage a Fast 6 tie in?? IS THE ROCK ABOUT TO FLY A HELICOPTER THROUGH A TANK?!!

Don't try to crash a news report by WKMG-6 Orlando's Jessica Sanchez.

She'll cut you down to size in two seconds, as a drunken reveler found out this week in New Orleans, where Sanchez is covering Sunday's Super Bowl festivities.

As Jessica began her report talking about the "zombies" that are wandering around late night, she was greeted by a 49ers fan who tried to video bomb the segment.

Her response? And the drunk fan's response to that response?

You gotta see it to appreciate it:

Local TV news bloopers going viral is nothing new, but that doesn't make it any less hilarious when on-air anchors and reporters get a case of the giggles.

Or don't know they're live. Or trip over words.

Or experience technical difficulties. Or banter awkwardly. Or behave in otherwise head-scratching fashion you'd never see in the big time. Comedic gold.

Enjoy some of the best of 2013 so far via this compilation:

Cats. They're gonna do what they're gonna do.

There is no pretense of loyalty or emotion between owner and feline - or if there is, it's going to be on the animal's terms. If they're not feeling it, you'll know it.

Case in point? This awesome video of one cat owner attempting to shower his pet with affection, only to be given "the paw" and shut down numerous times.

Okay, got it. That will be all now ...

Cat Refuses Affection

A woman was apparently so smitten with texting her boyfriend that she fell straight into a frozen canal in the UK, which suffice it to say is pretty hilarious.

It all went down in Birmingham, England, when Capital FM Radio personality Laura Safe was texting her boyfriend en route to a shopping center.

She was so engrossed in the text message that she didn't notice she was heading straight for an icy cold canal a few feet from the base of a stairway.

The rest, as they say, is viral history:

Fortunately, area businessman Neil Edginton was able to rescue Safe.

If you ever wondered what Katy Perry's face would look like on Paula Deen ... you have really bizarre and specific thoughts. But you're also in luck!

The Internet decided to create this imagery. You're welcome:

It's hard to tell where Katy Perry ends and Paula Deen begins. Originally created last year, before any Paula Deen weight loss, the pic is making the rounds again this week.

We just have two questions:

• Why didn't Katy rock that hairstyle in her inauguration performance?
• Is this what John Mayer fantasizes about if he's really hungry?

A hilarious photo making the rounds on Reddit this week shows a woman reacting in utter astonishment to a marriage proposal at the end of a 5K run at Disney World.

The woman being proposed to looks to be pretty surprised by it, too!

Hey, it's not something you see and/or experience every day.

No word if Cristina said yes, but we kind of assume, and hope so.

It's no Bill Clinton photo bomb (or Malia Obama photo bomb) at a historical event, but it's more than good enough for Photo Bomb of the Day here on THG.

This cute viral video shows a baby and his dad having their first-ever argument.

The reason for this father-son feud? Whether the former's name is Dad, or Bob.

Joey's father repeats "dad" over and over, in an attempt to teach his son what to call him. However, Joey insists on calling his father "Bob" until he finally acquiesces.

Dad FTW. But it only gets harder as they get older, man.

Baby, Dad Argument

Sasha Obama let out a big yawn during her father's inaugural address today, making for a moment she will never, ever live down at home.

Kids will be kids.

Sasha Obama Yawn

During one pause by President Barack Obama, cameras cut to Sasha, sister Malia, and mother Michelle Obama; Sasha yawned for the whole U.S. to see.

One can sympathize with Sash. She'd been to church, attended Katy Perry's inauguration performance and witnessed a swearing-in ceremony in 24 hours.

She's also 11, and the speech - while stirring in rhetoric, moving in its evocation of American greatness, and inspiring in its grandeur - was a tad boring.

Sorry Barack.
