Steve Buscemi's Two Skateboards Meme
I'll always remember an interview with Steve Buscemi on Bullseye, Jesse Thorn asked him 'As an actor with many decades of varied and outstanding roles across your career, does it ever bother you that one of the things you will most be remembered for is a 3-second gif in which you're wearing a backwards baseball cap and carrying a skateboard?' And without missing a beat, Buscemi replied 'I'm carrying *two* skateboards.' And you know what? He is.

I'll always remember an interview with Steve Buscemi on Bullseye, Jesse Thorn asked him 'As an actor with many decades of varied and outstanding roles across your career, does it ever bother you that one of the things you will most be remembered for is a 3-second gif in which you're wearing a backwards baseball cap and carrying a skateboard?' And without missing a beat, Buscemi replied 'I'm carrying two skateboards.' And you know what? He is.
Overview
A meme featuring a Threads post by user 'stephens_ben' describing an interview with actor Steve Buscemi. The post recounts Jesse Thorn (host of 'Bullseye') asking Buscemi if he's bothered by being most remembered for a 3-second GIF where he wears a backwards baseball cap and carries a skateboard. Buscemi humorously corrects that he's carrying two skateboards. Below the text is a screenshot from the original '30 Rock' scene showing Buscemi in a red backwards cap, red jacket, and holding two skateboards in a school hallway, confirming his correction.
Origin notes
The meme originates from a real interview on 'Bullseye' and a scene from the 2007 TV show '30 Rock' (Season 3, Episode 4: 'Gavin Volure'), where Steve Buscemi's character attempts to infiltrate a high school. The Threads post by 'stephens_ben' combines this interview anecdote with a screenshot of the original scene, creating a humorous meme highlighting Buscemi's playful correction. The image includes the 'Citytv' watermark, indicating the scene's broadcast source. The meme was circulated on 9Gag, as noted by the source information.
