The arrival of US Vice President JD Vance in Islamabad has triggered a wave of humour on social media, with users sharing a barrage of memes and AI-generated images even as crucial diplomatic talks unfold.

Vance is leading the US delegation in ongoing negotiations with Iran, aimed at easing tensions in the Middle East.

Meetings between American and Iranian officials are expected to focus on finding a long-term resolution to the conflict.

However, the high-profile visit has taken a lighter turn online. Social media platforms have been flooded with AI-generated images depicting the US vice president in humorous, distinctly Pakistani settings.

In one widely shared post, Vance is shown enjoying popular local dishes such as halwa puri and chana, while another depicts him checking his phone in distress, with a caption joking that his device stopped working upon arrival due to non-PTA approval — a common issue faced by foreign phones in Pakistan.

Another viral meme imagines Vance appearing on a morning show hosted by Nida Yasir, captioned as his “first morning in Pakistan,” reflecting a popular cultural reference.

Users across platforms, including X, have contributed to the trend, blending political satire with local humour. The use of AI tools to create realistic yet comedic visuals has further amplified engagement, making the diplomatic visit a trending topic beyond political circles.

While the memes continue to entertain, officials remain focused on the ongoing negotiations, which carry significant implications for regional stability.
