UK Prime Minister David Cameron is still kind of new to Twitter, so it’s understandable that he hasn’t quite figured out how this whole social media thing works yet. Case in point, the 47-year-old pol posted a photo of himself looking grave while on the phone with President Barack Obama regarding the situation in Ukraine, and Twitter champs like Patrick Stewart and Rob Delaney totally hijacked it for viral glory.
Here’s Cameron’s original tweet:
I’ve been speaking to @BarackObama about the situation in Ukraine. We are united in condemnation of Russia’s actions. pic.twitter.com/7Rk2k8iOIK

Here’s Delaney’s response:
.@David_Cameron @BarackObama Hi guys, I’m on the line now too. Get me up to speed. pic.twitter.com/xhmJG5KpxT

Here’s Sir Pat Stew jumping in on the call:
.@robdelaney @David_Cameron @BarackObama I’m now patched in as well. Sorry for the delay. pic.twitter.com/elLQcKcV3w — Patrick Stewart (@SirPatStew) March 5, 2014
And a few others who joined in on the fun:

Nothing like a little Twitter levity to shake up an otherwise serious and ongoing situation between state leaders, amirite?
