Waiting to Be Recognized

Text on the meme

Me acting like a celebrity in a public place Waiting for one of my meme page followers to spot me and asks for a photo with me

What it means

A man in a black suit dramatically looks around in a dark public place, waiting for one of his meme-page followers to recognize him and ask for a photo. The joke is self-important celebrity behavior contrasted with the reality that nobody notices him; the moody music makes his ordinary awkward waiting feel intensely cinematic and dramatic. The clip uses scenes featuring Christian Bale from American Psycho, set to Mr.Kitty’s “After Dark.”
