How I feel when someone shows me a long unfunny video

This meme features text at the top stating 'How I feel when someone is showing me a video that isn't funny and lasts more than 2 minutes'.

This is a relatable reaction meme that uses a screenshot of actor Martin Lawrence (as his character Martin Payne from the sitcom *Martin*) looking utterly exhausted, burnt-out, and exasperated.

The top text reads 'Me after having to work with someone who doesn't shower', which jokes about the draining, unpleasant experience of being around a coworker with poor personal hygiene.
