Meme Historian Explains Why Bring Me the Beauties Documentary Is the Internet’s Hottest New Farce
A documentary on the tragic collapse of a 2000s indie rock dream has somehow become the internet’s new favorite comedy, as users flood comments with “this is art” and “it’s giving theater kid energy.” The documentary, brought to you by the same energy as a “so bad it’s good” film, features a flailing frontman who famously shouted “Bring me the beauties!” at a dead crowd, now getting the prestige film treatment. The irony? The documentary’s sincerity is so profound that it loops back to being hilarious, making it the most talked-about, unintentionally funny thing since the last viral trainwreck.
