Girls Buy Expensive, Boys Buy Cheap

Text on the meme

Girls flexing after buying expensive things Boys flexing on how cheap the thing they bought was

What it means

A woman luxuriates while showing off expensive jewelry, then the clip cuts to Brad Pitt in stylish black-and-white shots, posing dramatically and proudly after buying something cheaply. The joke contrasts girls flaunting the luxury of an expensive purchase with boys flaunting the bargain itself; the cinematic swagger makes a trivial cheap deal feel like a major achievement. The clip is set to Vendredi sur Mer’s “Écoute Chérie,” whose stylish French pop creates a cool, sensual, self-satisfied mood that heightens the punchline.
