PHILADELPHIA -- As Virginia Senator Tim Kaine took the podium at the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia Wednesday night to accept the vice presidential nomination, hundreds were posed and ready to tweet about his big moment in the spotlight.

Kaine, who was announced as Hillary Clinton's running mate last week, has served as senator, governor and mayor in Virginia, but for many Americans, his speech at the DNC was his first real introduction to the national spotlight.

While the Virginia senator addressed the audience, tweets poured in gently poking fun at him, with many on social media pointing out his "dad" qualities.

If Obama was a cool dad, Tim Kaine is a dad dad. — Alex Seitz-Wald (@aseitzwald) July 28, 2016

Some even drew comparison between Kaine and Vice President Joe Biden...which is when the dad comparisons pivoted to the uncle riffs -- what kind of uncle would Biden be compared to Kaine?

Joe Biden is the cool uncle who drinks too much at Thanksgiving, but Tim Kaine is the uncle you call when you're in trouble #DemsInPhilly — Ryan Parker (@TheRyanParker) July 28, 2016

TIM KAINE JUST TRIED TO RUN DOWN INTO THE CROWD TO SHAKE HANDS AND GOT STOPPED BY SECRET SERVICE

And the jokes didn't stop there.

Tim Kaine was my soccer coach in 5th grade who would always let me play goalie just because I asked and gave high fives to teammates. — Sopan Deb (@SopanDeb) July 28, 2016

While Kaine has said he considers himself "boring," Twitter users seemed to find him far from that, especially during his Donald Trump impression.
