Okay, so I saw this “George Pickens meme” thing trending and, honestly, I had no clue what it was. I’m not that online, you know? But it looked funny, so I decided to figure it out and maybe even make my own. Here’s how that whole adventure went.
First, I just straight-up Googled “George Pickens meme.” Turns out, it’s all about this wide receiver for the Pittsburgh Steelers, George Pickens. Apparently, he makes these crazy catches, but sometimes he also has these, like, super intense or blank facial expressions, even when he does something amazing. That’s the meme – his face!
Digging Deeper
So, I spent a good chunk of time just scrolling through images and videos. Man, some of these are hilarious! People were putting his face on everything – superheroes, movie posters, even those old Renaissance paintings. It’s the contrast, I think, between the incredible athletic feat and the totally stoic expression. That’s comedy gold.
- Phase 1: Research. Just pure, unadulterated meme consumption. I needed to understand the essence of the meme.
- Phase 2: Idea Generation. Okay, what could I do with this? I’m not a Photoshop wizard, so it had to be simple.
- Phase 3: Execution. This is where things got… interesting.
Making My Own Meme
I decided to go with a classic. I found a picture of Pickens making one of those insane sideline catches – you know, the ones where he’s practically defying gravity? Then, I found a picture of my cat, Mittens, looking utterly unimpressed while sitting on a pile of laundry. The resemblance, in terms of sheer indifference, was uncanny.
I used some free online image editor – nothing fancy. I’m talking basic cropping and pasting here. I put Pickens’ body making the catch, but replaced his head with Mittens’ head. The caption? “Me catching up on chores.”
It’s not going to win any awards, but it made me laugh. And that’s the whole point, right? It’s pretty rough, the cropping is terrible, but it conveys the * felt good to use the meme for a while.
So, that’s my George Pickens meme journey. From total confusion to creating something… well, something mildly amusing. It’s the little things, right?
