Stop Trying to Make Threads Happen

Stop trying to make Threads © happen. It's not going to happen.

A meme featuring a screenshot of a female character from the 2004 film Mean Girls, identified as Karen Smith (played by Amanda Seyfried). The character is wearing a red and white Santa hat with a white pom-pom, and her expression is serious with a slight skeptical look. Overlaid text appears at the top and bottom of the image: the top text reads 'Stop trying to make Threads © happen' and the bottom text reads 'It's not going to happen.' The meme references the iconic line from Mean Girls where Regina George tells Karen, 'Stop trying to make fetch happen. It's not going to happen,' repurposing it to critique the social media platform Threads' perceived lack of success.

The meme is a remix of a scene from the 2004 film Mean Girls. The original scene does not feature the Santa hat, which was added through image editing. The text overlay is a direct reference to the 'fetch' meme from the movie, adapted to target the social media platform Threads. The source is indicated as Reddit, specifically from the r/Meme community, suggesting it was created and shared by a Reddit user as a reaction to Threads' launch and reception in 2023.
