With 1 Simple Tweet, Good Morning America Ruins a Meme

One of the most popular memes ever to be memed is Kermit the Frog’s tea-sipping meme. It throws the perfect amount of “You ain’t hear it from me” shade. It’s been tweeted, posted on Facebook, Instagrammed countless times … so you have to wonder what happened with Good Morning America’s Twitter account Tuesday:

Tea. Lizard?

Of course, social media’s answer to a GMA mistake is to mock it and create #GMAMemes:

Way to go, GMA! Mess up a meme, then become a meme yourself. It’s like a meme inception. Or meta-meme. Or just get a better social media person.
