    Seriously. I understand there’s a generational gap, but this is laid out so fucking plainly. Like… how does she not know, at the very least, that the purple dude is not a real person

      how is it plain? what is he doing? what is on his arm? what does him fucking with his arm have to do with taking a charger when it is not needed? I have no idea and clearly plenty of other people also agree.

      this scene is not common enough knowledge to reference that people know what’s happening and that makes it a poor choice for the meme.

        The dude is a purple alien. Like unless this lady has never seen a person before then that’s pretty obvious.

          I still don’t know what you’re suggesting. are purple aliens known to take chargers unnecessarily? I get that her responses are strange (possibly fake) but my point is that the meme sucks and doesn’t make sense on its own to a lot of people, myself included. this scene in this movie franchise is not well understood enough to connect to the situation.

            She was asking if they “knew him.” If they knew a purple alien, like has met this obviously not real person before. I do not understand your confusion at all my man.

              my point has nothing to do with her ridiculous responses. you said the meme was plain, as if it makes sense or is easy to understand. as a meme it is crap and does not. the mom was daft but it’s not like the meme actually makes any sense.

      Maybe thinks its some performer or a statue or something. She probably didn’t pay attention to all the grimmace ads so has no frame of reference of why a charger would connect to a big mac

        That’s true. I hope that’s true. That would be cute AF.
