The internet finds a brilliant way to troll Sean Spicer and his green tie

C'mon Spicy, haven't you learned?

Poor Sean Spicer just cannot catch a break with his fashion choices these days.

First, it was his upside-down House of Cards flag pin, then it was his foot brace with a funky striped sock and now he's at it again with this stained green tie in honor of St. Patrick's Day.

The tie, though sloppy, would've been fine if he wasn't on TV giving a press briefing. Meme genius Jesse McLaren took notice of its color and gave Spicer's tie a brilliant, hilarious green screen treatment.

There's a whole world living in that tie. There's an explosion, some sharks, Jack Nicholson's character in The Shining and even a magical Spiceception.

People of Twitter were quick to applaud McLaren's contribution to the internet community.

Inspired by this wizard, another great soul has since come forward to take a crack at the artistry, but this time with Donald Trump's scary "Hotline Bling" moves.

Oh Spicy, haven't you learned? The internet won't let you get away with anything. You meant well, but maybe it's time to hire a stylist.
