Ben Affleck isn’t the only one giving off major meme vibes.

Despite China denying that the massive balloon that floated over the United States — and flew by Canada — was not a spy balloon, the U.S. wasn’t buying it and President Joe Biden ordered that it be shot down.

China has since accused the U.S. of indiscriminate use of force in shooting down what they say was a “Chinese civilian unmanned airship” in the middle of an “accidental” flyover, further straining U.S.-Chinese relations.

If it was a spy balloon, it remains unclear what information it learned while hovering high in the sky.

We apologize, but this video has failed to load.

Is it a potentially serious issue? Yes! But that doesn’t mean people on social media were going to let it fly by without a few jokes getting cracked.

A gender reveal balloon that got away?

This gem, suggesting Donald Trump send the Trump baby blimp to China, was even given the thumbs up from Don Jr.

“Not gonna lie… this is funny,” Don Jr. wrote.

Piggybacking off Don Jr.’s warning about TikTok, someone concurred, questioning if a spy balloon is even needed.

“They don’t need a spy balloon. They have TikTok…”

Speaking of TikTok, this is what the Chinese balloon would be if it was brunch.

Whoopi Goldberg isn’t another spy balloon… right?

Here is the balloon Germany would have if it was sending out spy balloons. Beer for all!

Meanwhile, Canada’s would be a moose – though, Bullwinkle? Really?

Finally, a tribute video set to Sarah McLachlan’s glorious “I Will Remember You” has more than 729,000 views and more than 6,000 likes. RIP, Chinese Spy Balloon. RIP.
