The tweet was widely mocked, turned into a copypasta, and became famous for its lopsided reply-to-like ratio before Scarry deleted it.","tags":["ed scarry tweet","aoc coat tweet","ocasio-cortez tweet","eddie scarry","twitter ratio","aoc copypasta","washington examiner"],"howToUse":[],"imageCount":8,"nsfw":false,"images":[{"url":"https://fcdtoybbbn2ccxbp.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/images/ed-scarrys-ocasio-cortez-coat-tweet/ed-scarrys-ocasio-cortez-coat-tweet-aoc-capitol-hill-photo.webp","caption":"Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez photographed on Capitol Hill around the time of the November 2018 freshman congressional orientation that sparked Eddie Scarry's viral coat tweet.","width":980,"height":551,"nsfw":false},{"url":"https://fcdtoybbbn2ccxbp.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/images/ed-scarrys-ocasio-cortez-coat-tweet/ed-scarrys-ocasio-cortez-coat-tweet-eddie-scarry-original-tweet.webp","caption":"The original Eddie Scarry tweet from November 15, 2018, criticizing Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's coat and jacket, which quickly went viral and drew widespread mockery.","width":650,"height":499,"nsfw":false},{"url":"https://fcdtoybbbn2ccxbp.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/images/ed-scarrys-ocasio-cortez-coat-tweet/ed-scarrys-ocasio-cortez-coat-tweet-brian-tyler-cohen-twigs-reply.webp","caption":"Brian Tyler Cohen's sarcastic reply parodied the absurd framing of Scarry's tweet by mocking that AOC also does not subsist on 'twigs and dirt.'","width":680,"height":630,"nsfw":false},{"url":"https://fcdtoybbbn2ccxbp.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/images/ed-scarrys-ocasio-cortez-coat-tweet/ed-scarrys-ocasio-cortez-coat-tweet-ikea-monkey-coat-reply.webp","caption":"Users like Christopher Sebela remixed Scarry's phrasing over other well-dressed subjects, in this case the viral IKEA monkey, to underscore the absurdity of the original tweet.","width":680,"height":813,"nsfw":false},{"url":"https://fcdtoybbbn2ccxbp.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/images/ed-scarrys-ocasio-cortez-coat-tweet/ed-scarrys-ocasio-cortez-coat-tweet-carmelo-anthony-fur-coat-reply.webp","caption":"The meme format spread as users overlaid Scarry's line onto pictures of other people in extravagant coats, like this photo of Carmelo Anthony.","width":680,"height":534,"nsfw":false},{"url":"https://fcdtoybbbn2ccxbp.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/images/ed-scarrys-ocasio-cortez-coat-tweet/ed-scarrys-ocasio-cortez-coat-tweet-tweet-ratio-hall-of-fame.webp","caption":"The disproportionate reply-to-like ratio on Scarry's tweet earned it 'ratio hall of fame' status, celebrated in joke images like this one referencing the classic 'ratio' meme format.","width":435,"height":550,"nsfw":false},{"url":"https://fcdtoybbbn2ccxbp.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/images/ed-scarrys-ocasio-cortez-coat-tweet/ed-scarrys-ocasio-cortez-coat-tweet-kilgore-trout-recap-tweet.webp","caption":"A widely-shared recap tweet chronicled the fallout of Scarry's post, including the viral ratio, his subsequent book promotion, and Mike Cernovich's amplification.","width":680,"height":695,"nsfw":false},{"url":"https://fcdtoybbbn2ccxbp.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/images/ed-scarrys-ocasio-cortez-coat-tweet/ed-scarrys-ocasio-cortez-coat-tweet-kendall-jenner-puffer-reply.webp","caption":"Maya Kosoff was among many who used Scarry's line as a meme template, here paired with a fashion shot of Kendall Jenner in an oversized red puffer coat.","width":680,"height":837,"nsfw":false}],"historyUrl":"https://fcdtoybbbn2ccxbp.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/images/ed-scarrys-ocasio-cortez-coat-tweet/history.md","related":["orc-city","alexandria-ocasio-cortez-breakfast-club-dance-video","amys-baking-company-pr-scandal","kendall-jenners-pepsi-ad","stoner-sloth","the-emoji-movie","the-right-is-starting-to-get-better-at-comedy","united-airlines-passenger-removal","gucci-blackface-balaclava-controversy","home-taping-is-killing-music","no-mans-sky","piracy-its-a-crime"],"popularityRank":1900,"license":"Meme images and history: templates, screenshots, photos and fan edits, many of copyrighted material or real people.
