Another day, another meme.

This time, it's the turn of new African Union chair and every human rights organisation's least favourite Zimbabwean president, Robert Mugabe.

Mugabe fell down steps off of a raised podium upon his return to Zimbabwe from Ethiopia on Wednesday. His security team quickly attempted to force photographers and camera crews to delete their images, according to The Independent.

However, images of the fall surfaced online, and the Internet wasted no time working its magic. Mugabe was transformed into a champion runner and a pro surfer within minutes, before taking up a role in both Harry Potter and The Big Lebowski.
