With the beginning of a new year, many new memes have already emerged. Today, for the second Meme Review, we will be delving into a meme originating prior to 2020.
In the spring of 2019, two images were paired and immediately became popular for the differing moods of the two photos. The pictures were put together by Twitter user @MISSINGEGIRL.
One image depicts The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills’ personality Taylor Armstrong in an emotional encounter on the show while the other depicts a cat named Smudge judgmentally looking across a table.
This meme is employed to often convey two opposing views on certain situations and images. Smudge usually portrays a snarky view on the topic while Armstrong conveys a more emotionally invested point of view. Other uses of the meme display Armstrong as a parental figure and Smudge as a disgruntled or dismissive child.
Below are some examples.
