Pretending You Don't Make Weird Faces When Called Out
Dialogue
Overview
This is a relatable meme consisting of three lines of text followed by a reaction image. The first line quotes another person saying "Stop making those faces". The second line is the first-person response "Me: 'what faces?'", pretending to be unaware of making any odd expressions. The third line reads "Also me:" and precedes an image of the Oompa Loompa character from the 2023 Wonka film, who is wearing oversized black sunglasses and a black hat, making a very awkward, strained grimace with gritted teeth. The joke highlights the common relatable experience of people unconsciously making weird facial expressions, and immediately denying doing so even when they are actively making the face in question.
