Belle Chooses Hair Dye Over Getting Depression Help Meme
Dialogue
Overview
This is a 3-panel edited meme using clips from Disney's 1991 animated film Beauty and the Beast. In the first row, the Beast looks frustrated and says "Repeat after me... I.", while Belle smiles excitedly and responds with "...I.". In the second row, the Beast tries to get Belle to repeat the affirmation "Will get help for my depression.", but Belle instead finishes her sentence as "Will dye my hair.". The final panel shows the Beast looking exhausted, fed up, and disappointed at Belle's choice. The joke is a relatable commentary on people frequently avoiding taking meaningful action to address their mental health, instead opting for quick, superficial, temporary mood boosts like changing their hair appearance.
