  • Embarrassed Jennifer Garner Wants to Punch Her Own Oscar Meme Face

    2018 Vanity Fair Oscar Party Hosted By Radhika Jones - ArrivalsJennifer Garner wants to punch herself in the face.

    The actress became the subject of a viral meme when she was captured looking as if she’d had a stunning realization while applauding at the Oscars. The very game Garner even poked fun at herself, reposting the meme with some of her own theories on Instagram.

    She again addressed the meme on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show,” telling the host, “I can’t even look at it. It’s too embarrassing.”

    DeGeneres noted that nobody else in the audience near her, including actor Chris Messina, seemed upset.

    “I have no control over this. What am I doing?” Garner said, indicating her face. “I started getting texts, as you can imagine. People were saying, ‘What were you thinking? What’s happening?’ and I try really hard not to see myself online, but she was a little unavoidable.”

    Garner joked, “I want to just punch her in the face! Not really, I don’t, but still.”

    DeGeneres asked if the actress had any clue what she’d been thinking. “I wish I did. I wish I had a better story about it,” Garner sighed.

    Then again, if we knew, the best meme of 2018 wouldn’t have happened.

  • The ‘Black-ish’ Spinoff Was Inspired by a Meme

    Never let it be said that memes are a waste of time. It’s thanks to one that we’re getting a “Black-ish” spinoff.

    Coming to Freeform in early 2018, “Grown-ish” will follow “Black-ish” character Zoey (Yara Shahidi) off to college. The idea for the second series came to creator Kenya Barris one day when he saw a meme on the subject, he told Variety at the show’s premiere in Hollywood on Wednesday.

    “It said, ‘Where would Zoey go to college?’” he said. “I was like, ‘This is a f—ing show.’”

    That is all it took to create a “lightbulb moment” for Barris. He took the idea and ran with it as a way for them to look at the issues that face college kids today. With that in mind, they worked to portray “as honest an experience” as possible.

    “I think that this generation has more on its shoulders than any different generation probably since, like, the Vietnam War,” Barris previously told Buzzfeed. “And I think all that is at the core of what this show is.”

    It’s fitting, then, that a creative tool of communication that so many millennials use ended up inspiring the show. Our memes matter — that’s the lesson we’re taking away from this.

    “Grown-ish” premieres Jan. 3 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on Freeform.
