Long Story Short

The ‘You Vs. The Guy She Tells You Not To Worry About Me’ meme is doing the rounds on social media, and people are getting seriously creative. We mean…

Long Story

Ever tell your girl you’re jealous of one of her male friends, and have her reassure you that you’re definitely cuter / smarter / more accomplished than him? Ever get the sneaking suspicion she’s downright lying to your face? Because her male friend just so happens to be Harambe?

OK, maybe not that last part, but trust the internet to take a popular sentiment and pump it full of obscure pop culture references.

RELATED: The 'Ideal Male Body' Meme

According to Know Your Meme, the earliest known instance of this meme originated from Twitter user @AmBlujay, who posted the below as early as 25 October 2015.

But the past couple of weeks have seen something of a renaissance, with social media users riffing on the meme in their droves.

And they’ve left hardly any cultural touchstone unturned. From internet favourite SpongeBob SquarePants…

…Stranger Things…

…Lost…

…Pokemon…

…mad weed skills…

…Kelsey Grammer…

…to that rendering of what a human who could survive a car crash would look like, plus Donald Trump’s hair.

Alright. *Deep breath* we’re going to stop now, before this internet black hole swallows us alive.
