Google Collects All User Data But Still Asks If You Are A Robot
Dialogue
Overview
This is a 3-panel reaction meme using the popular 'Mr. Incredible Becoming Uncanny' template. The first two panels show a grayscale, neutrally smiling Bob Parr (Mr. Incredible from The Incredibles), paired with text listing the large amount of personal data Google collects from users: first stating 'Google gets all my data', then listing 'Google knows my browser history, where I live, and my face'. The third panel shows a darkened, unsettling edit of Mr. Incredible with wide, strained eyes, paired with the ironic punchline: 'Google still asks if I'm a robot'. The joke pokes fun at the absurdity of Google's data collection practices contrasted with its continued requirement for users to complete CAPTCHA verifications to prove they are not automated bots, despite Google already having access to vast amounts of identifying personal user data.
Origin notes
This meme is a derivative work of the widely circulated 'Mr. Incredible Becoming Uncanny' meme template, which itself uses edited stills of the character Bob Parr from Pixar's 2004 animated film The Incredibles. This specific iteration was shared on the X (formerly Twitter) account @WholesomeMeme, and sourced from the account's public RSS feed. The template is commonly used across social media platforms to illustrate a progressive shift from calm acceptance to increasing discomfort, shock, or ironic absurdity across successive panels.
