00:00 You guys, we're not doing this again, guys.
00:01 Come on, come on.
00:03 We lived through COVID, we are not doing this again.
00:05 Let's not go backwards.
00:08 But white and gold.
00:08 (upbeat music)
00:11 Hi, I'm Quinta Brunson,
00:14 and today I'm gonna be quizzed on niche internet memes.
00:18 I think I'm pretty doggone savvy,
00:20 but I do think that I'm starting to fall off
00:23 because I just have gotten busier.
00:27 But I still try to keep abreast, if you will.
00:29 What's your screen time?
00:31 What's my screen?
00:31 Who are you, the police?
00:33 (laughing)
00:34 Oh my God.
00:35 (laughing)
00:36 You didn't tell me this would be an indictment.
00:39 Oh, I'm sweating.
00:40 Oh, this feels incriminating.
00:43 10 hours.
00:45 And that's a day.
00:46 Yeah, but I'm down 21% from last week.
00:49 Do you have any favorite memes?
00:51 I do.
00:51 One of my favorites is a very, it's an old meme.
00:54 It's a niche meme.
00:55 It strikes head on a woman's body,
00:57 and he says, "I'm calling the police."
00:59 I don't know why.
01:00 I don't know who made it.
01:01 I don't know the reason.
01:02 But it's one of my favorite memes to this day.
01:04 I really like to use it.
01:05 Ha!
01:07 Love this one.
01:07 Sorry to this man is from our fave, Kiki Palmer.
01:11 I love Kiki so much.
01:12 She didn't know who Dick Cheney was,
01:13 and she said, "Sorry to this man."
01:15 Sorry to this man.
01:15 If he was walking down the street
01:16 and wouldn't know who he was.
01:17 Sorry to this man.
01:18 We love you, Kiki.
01:20 Sorry to this man.
01:21 No idea.
01:26 Is it brony?
01:29 Is it short for jabroni?
01:31 - No, brony's like a grown man who's into My Little Pony.
01:35 - Okay.
01:37 I didn't need to know that information.
01:38 This is why I need to get back to work,
01:39 'cause I feel like I keep learning things
01:41 that I don't need to know.
01:43 I know this one.
01:45 That's America's ass.
01:46 That's referring to Chris Evans as Captain America.
01:50 His ass in the movie, his butt.
01:51 - If you were in the MCU,
01:53 what kind of character would you wanna play?
01:54 - Oh, one of the obscure background characters
01:58 brought to the forefront.
01:59 Squirrel Girl, I think is very fun and interesting.
02:03 If it weren't for that,
02:04 like one of the Iron Man characters,
02:06 big Iron Man fan.
02:07 Other than that, Squirrel Girl.
02:10 This mustache belongs to American icon
02:13 and auteur Steve Harvey.
02:15 I'm a big fan of this mustache and this man.
02:18 I dressed up like him for one Halloween,
02:19 and it was the best time of my life.
02:21 Everyone should dress like Steve Harvey
02:23 if they get the chance to.
02:24 There's something very freeing in it,
02:25 and I mean that.
02:26 It's a spiritual awakening.
02:28 What does it mean to ship John Locke?
02:30 I know what ship means.
02:31 So I'm assuming there are two people,
02:34 somebody with a John in their name
02:35 and someone with a Locke in their name.
02:37 To ship someone is to,
02:39 you see these people being in a relationship.
02:41 You ship them.
02:42 You want them to be together.
02:43 - This is Sherlock Holmes and John Watson.
02:46 There's like slash fan fiction
02:47 that people are really obsessed with.
02:50 - I get it.
02:50 The queers, they really will find a way
02:52 and tell you what, so.
02:54 Yeah, I mean, okay, I get it now.
02:57 [laughs]
02:57 I love this one.
02:59 Go piss girl is the Gossip Girl meme
03:03 where I think someone just scratched out
03:05 or they just rearranged.
03:08 I love Go Piss Girl.
03:09 It's so simple.
03:10 I've never watched Gossip Girl.
03:12 I just know about things,
03:13 but that doesn't mean I watch them.
03:15 I'll like go to the Gossip Girl set
03:16 on the Warner Brothers lot and people are losing it.
03:19 I just think that's nice.
03:20 I think it's nice when people really love things.
03:22 I think it's really sweet.
03:24 Oh, this dress.
03:26 I was there when this dress happened.
03:27 I was there, little girlie.
03:29 [laughs]
03:30 This conspiracy happened at BuzzFeed
03:32 where I worked at the time.
03:33 And it went super, super viral.
03:35 And all I remember is you would have thought
03:37 our office was on fire the way people were running around
03:41 and losing it over this dress
03:44 and over the internet losing it over this dress.
03:46 So this dress was either white and gold to people
03:49 or it was blue and black.
03:51 - Yeah, what do you see?
03:52 - White and gold.
03:53 You guys, we're not doing this again, guys.
03:56 Come on, come on.
03:57 We lived through COVID.
03:58 We are not doing this again.
04:00 Let's not go backwards.
04:02 But white and gold.
04:03 This has something to do with Beyonce, right?
04:10 They think this is,
04:10 is this Beyonce's Italian name
04:13 or they think it's her Italian twin?
04:14 - There's a conspiracy theory
04:16 that Beyonce is really an Italian woman
04:18 named Anne-Marie Lastrosse.
04:20 - Yes, so that's what this is.
04:22 I don't believe this theory, no.
04:24 But it's fun.
04:25 But no, I don't believe this.
04:27 It's nonsense.
04:27 A large.
04:32 Oh, he got money.
04:33 That is from internet child Quinta Brunson, me.
04:38 A large?
04:40 You got the money.
04:42 He got money.
04:42 Get it off for him.
04:43 It was 2014, 13.
04:46 And I just, all I had was my phone and a dream.
04:49 I didn't even have a dream.
04:50 I just uploaded a little stupid video
04:52 to make my friends laugh.
04:53 And I had no idea.
04:55 It was shocking.
04:56 This was before going viral on Instagram
04:59 was really a thing.
05:00 The main thing I remember
05:01 was not being able to get into my phone
05:03 because the notifications were too much
05:05 that I couldn't even turn the phone off.
05:06 I had to physically take my phone to the Apple Store
05:09 to get them to hard reset it.
05:10 I had no control over it.
05:11 So it was a wild thing and it broke my phone.
05:14 It was just nuts.
05:14 It was really crazy.
05:15 - How was this experience for you?
05:17 - Nerve-wracking.
05:18 I'm happy that I got most of them.
05:20 I feel like I need to get offline even more.
05:22 Thank you Glamour for watching.
05:25 I'll see you online.
