...is this meme template not supposed to signify greed or gluttony? doesn't the guy stuff his face with something while looking someone straight in the eye?

[-] Dojan@pawb.social 18 points 3 weeks ago

He looks concerned, sad, and disappointed to me.

here, yes, but it's is an ai-enhanced frame from this gif:

Aw man. That’s disappointing.

Maybe that makes it a separate thing then if people can't recognize the original context, what movie is this even from

[-] Syndication@lemmy.today 10 points 3 weeks ago

I think it's simply a reaction face like "WTF did you do?" or "WTF did I just hear?" type of response.

Yes. Sometimes memes are transformative, ya know? Hell, some are completely made up and aren't even in the original shows/movies they are referencing.

That being said, the AI part was disappointing to me too tho.

sure but don't you just see the chewing when you see the face? i can't unsee it personally.

[-] Syndication@lemmy.today 2 points 3 weeks ago

Ohhh wait I see what you mean now! Yeah his cheeks look oddly bigger now lol

[-] lime@feddit.nu 2 points 3 weeks ago

Don't you hunger for human flesh after reading it?

[-] Taleya@aussie.zone 3 points 3 weeks ago

Lotta memes don't match the original source. Ask eric andre.

[-] acockworkorange@mander.xyz 1 points 3 weeks ago

He never returns my phone calls.

[-] binarytobis@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

I’m with you. This could be a template that 9/10 perfectly expresses a specific idea, instead they use it as a 4/10 catchall reaction that could mean anything.
