About

Ted Cruz Looking Pleased refers to a series of exploitable two-panel photoshops in which United States Senator Ted Cruz is looking lovingly at various objects.

Origin

On March 21st, 2017, the United States Senate held a confirmation hearing for the Supreme Court nominee of Donald Trump, Neil Gorsuch. During the hearing, Senator Ted Cruz spoke to Gorsuch in an affable manner, which led commenters on Twitter to make jokes about the genial manner between the two (ex: shown below).

Spread

As Twitter users made jokes about the friendliness between the two men, popular Twitter user @Mobute^[1] tweeted the image and captioned it "put anything on this splitscreen with cruz--an old lady cutting pills in half and eating cat food to survive, a buzzard pecking an eye socket".

This led to dozens of photoshops created in response. Many referenced jokes about Cruz from the 2016 United States Presidential Election such as Cruz' love of canned soup and Ted Cruz Is The Zodiac Killer. The jokes were covered by Twitter Moments^[2] the following day.
