Shia LaBeouf Declares 'I Am Not A Meme,' Internet Promptly Makes Him A Meme For That Very Statement
CANNES, FRANCE – In a baffling twist that has the internet’s meme historians reaching for their DSL lines, actor Shia LaBeouf stood atop a red carpet yesterday and delivered a stern, 12-minute monologue insisting he is a "serious thespian" and not a "living reaction GIF." The internet, predictably and instantly, responded by turning the monologue into a 12-minute reaction GIF set to Dramatic Chipmunk music. Meme historians note the delicious irony: Shia’s attempt to de-meme himself is now the hottest meme of 2024, proving he is indeed the internet’s favorite performance artist. "He does a better job selling us our own jokes than we do," wrote one Reddit user. "Can't believe he’s charging for the surprise."
