**FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE**
**HOLLYWOOD, CA** – In a twist that has left the internet simultaneously sobbing and snorting with laughter, Matthew Perry has officially become the internet’s most tragic comedian. The late actor, beloved for his role as Chandler Bing, is trending not for a new project or a posthumous memoir, but because a rogue AI scriptwriter fed his sarcastic dialogue into a “SarcasmGPT” and accidentally generated a best-selling children’s book titled *“Could I *BE* More Depressed?”*
The irony, according to meme historians, is “almost too perfect.” Perry, who famously used humor to deflect pain, has now become the unwitting mascot of a generation that laughs through its trauma. The meme currently sweeping Twitter shows a photo of Perry looking bewildered captioned: *“Me explaining to my therapist why I’m actually fine because I can quote every episode of Friends from memory.”*
Psychologists have dubbed the phenomenon “The Matthew Perry Paradox”: a collective use of ironic detachment to process genuine sorrow. As one viral tweet put it: “We aren’t laughing *at* him. We’re laughing *with* him, which is far more confusing and, honestly, exactly what he would have wanted.”
The irony? The only thing stronger than Chandler Bing’s wit, apparently, is a generation using that same wit to avoid any actual emotional growth.
**#CouldIBeMoreDepressed** is now the official hashtag of 2024.
