Jacob Rees-Mogg was savaged for lounging on the frontbench in the House of Commons during the emergency Brexit debate.
The Commons leader was accused of disrespecting parliament by MPs and viewers alike.
Labour's Anna Turley described his prostrate pose the "physical embodiment of arrogance, entitlement, disrespect and contempt for our Parliament."
Labour MP for Sedgefield Phil Wilson said: "I grew up on a council estate in a pit village in Co. Durham.
"I was taught to sit up straight and show respect.
" Jacob Rees-Mogg had all the advantageous money can buy and can do neither. What a waste of an education."
Even actor Hugh Laurie hit out at the Eton-educated toff saying: "Jacob Rees-Mogg lolling horizontally on the front bench during tonight’s emergency debate is as insolent and insufferable as anything I’ve seen."
While Green Party MP Caroline Lucas thundered at the Tory minister: "His body language this evening has been so contemptuous... we will not have it".
The Tory minister seemed unfazed by the criticism.
But the internet decided to puncture Mr Rees-Mogg's self-importance by roundly mocking him in a series of imaginative memes.
Here are some of the best:
This Twitter user thought the reclining minister resembled the murdered French revolutionary leader Jean-Paul Marat as depicted by Jacques-Louis David.
But unlike the heroic Marat who holds a quill, Rees-Mogg is clutching a child's dummy.
Other internet users thought the politician's slouch had seductive overtones and replaced his pinstriped trousers with stockings and garters.
The MP for North East Somerset made an appearance at music festival Glastonbury and snoozed away oblivious to the shark from Jaws lurking ominously beneath him.
He was also shown executing a perfect Fosby flop as he squeezed in some light exercise during yesterday's Commons marathon.
Others decided more political capital with Mr Rees-Mogg's relaxed pose.
Tracy Alloway placed the reclining MP over the falling line of Sterling as the currency reacted to the uncertainty over Brexit prompted by the parliamentary debate.
While another twitter user thought the shape of the slouching Tory mimicked the decline in the government's majority as it went from +1 to -43 in a matter of hours.
Others thought he would look more at home on The Simpson's couch than the green benches of the Commons.
The Leader of the House seemed unfazed by the criticism in keeping with many observers' impression of him as arrogant and out of touch.
