David Cameron was so keen to show how he has a direct line to the White House he tweeted a picture of himself calling Barack Obama.
But the Prime Minister's serious selfie has been mocked online, with celebrities and animals lining up to tease the Prime Minister.
The backlash once again reminds Mr Cameron of his infamous warning that 'too many tweets might make a t***'.
Last night, with tensions rising in Ukraine, Mr Cameron called President Obama to discuss Russia's incursion into Crimea and the need to deter any further action by President Putin.
Prime Minister David Cameron's selfie was supposed to portray him as a serious statesman with a direct line to the White House
Soon after the Prime Minister posted a picture of himself looking very serious while talking on a telephone in his Downing Street office.
'I've been speaking to @BarackObama about the situation in Ukraine. We are united in condemnation of Russia's actions,' Mr Cameron wrote.
Comedian Rob Delaney mocked the British PM by using a tube of toothpaste instead of a telephone
But the attempt to portray the PM as a serious statesman was quickly mocked, with comedian Rob Delaney posting a picture of his own, looking just as serious, but holding a tube of toothpaste instead of a phone handset.
Delaney told Obama and Cameron: 'Hi guys, I'm on the line now too. Get me up to speed.'
Actor Patrick Stewart joined the conversation, clutching a tube of Wet Ones

Next to join the fray was Star Trek and X-Men star Patrick Stewart, who posed with a tub of Wet Ones in place of a phone, saying: '@robdelaney @David_Cameron @BarackObama I'm now patched in as well. Sorry for the delay.'
Writer Michael Moreno trumped them all, holdinng up a dog his ear and tweeting: 'Ok, guys, thanks for holding.'
