Description

This still from Gene Wilder’s portrayal of Willy Wonka has become the backdrop for many memes. Something about that sarcastic look has given many writers a blank canvas to work with. These types of memes are always very sarcastic in nature and also play into cultural stereotypes—specifically in a shaming sense. For example, in this instance Instagram, the popular photography app, is cited. However this is poking fun at how many people feel like pseudo-professional photographers while utilizing premade filters or watered down photo editing techniques. This meme can get a little personal, but another common theme in memes is having a thick skin.
