'So Help Me Internet': Funniest Inauguration GIFs and Pics

George Washington's inauguration was probably really boring because the Internet didn't exist. Martha could have targeted John Adams with the stink eye, but no one could GIF it and then share it on Tumblr. Bummer, right?

Thanks to the magic of modern technology, we never have to worry about missing those most excellent moments again.

Barack Obama's second inauguration provided plenty of moments worthy of giggles and, because of the web, we can all enjoy them until we break the share button. God bless America (and the Internet)!
