Description

Awkward moments are a common topic in memes. Michael Cera is a common person referenced when discussing awkward moments—it’s a match made in meme heaven. This can be attributed to Cera’s now archetypal role as “that awkward teenager” in films. Social anxiety plagues us all, and memes have a way of bringing those to light in a humorous way. With memes, the more specific, the better. So by citing an awkward grocery store moment while also citing a classic awkward person, the meme purposes itself as a pillar of awkward awareness.
