Waiting for the Worst Punchline

Text on the meme

How it feels wasting 30 seconds of my life waiting for mr incredible to finish his gay little spooky songs only to see the unfunniest punchline ever written

What it means

The clip slowly zooms in on Patrick Bateman’s increasingly intense, unimpressed stare while the caption describes waiting through Mr Incredible’s “gay little spooky songs” for an extremely unfunny punchline. The dramatic buildup and deadpan reaction turn the wait into a sarcastic reaction to disappointing music or a terrible joke. The audio is set to the eerie, theatrical music track “Lil John F kennedy Was Killed By The C.I.A” by Lindon B. Johnson, whose spooky mood heightens the exaggerated anticipation and makes the anticlimax funnier.
