Internet Meme Hall of Fame: Sad Keanu and Friends
When celebrity photos meet bored people with Photoshop.
By Hooksexup
Once, a long time ago, Keanu Reeves sat down to eat a sandwich, feeling a little blue, when a paparazzo snapped his picture. That picture, coupled with the creative prowess of ten million Photo-shoppers, rose quickly to join the ranks of beloved memes. But Sad Keanu is just stop along a wide and variegated road of people putting celebrities in places they just don’t belong. These are eight of our favorites.

Highlight of my morning so far. Zombie McCain kissing Britney is the best one.
hilarious! I can't decide which is better: McCain kissing Britney, Cage as Lennon and Yoko Ono, or West interrupting God's creation of the universe haha Well done!
Sad Keanu at McDonalds! hahahahaahahahahahaha
Nick Cage as Lincoln is one of the most beautiful works for photoshopping I've ever seen.
I love Nic Cage as everyone but it worries me b/c if he sees it movies will be made. The movie will flop. TBS will buy it and air it for all eternity.
Cage as Liza is brilliant.
creeper jude!
Anything that makes fun of Kanye is awesome
Way to attribute photos, Hooksexup. Was it too complicated to read the names under the pics you pulled from Reddit and Fark?
I'm sure that would have taken minutes and minutes of your precious time. Let me help.

I loved the Kanye and There Will Be Blood One
um Class Act... maybe you need to look up the definition of what a meme is.
@ft
Actually no, but I appreciate the advice. All memes come from somewhere, and are at least attributable when a source is easily obtainable. Hence my offer of the likely sources. I can understand if the Hooksexup authors were trolling 4chan for pics, but I doubt they pulled all of these pictures from anon.
From Know Your Meme(took me 20 seconds to find):
On June 3rd, 2010, Reddit user rockon4life posted an image of Keanu Reeves looking particularly sullen while eating a sandwich on a park bench, with the phrase “I really enjoy acting…Because when I act, I’m no longer me” in a thread entitled Keanu. More sadness in comments. The thread quickly made it to Reddit’s front page, gathering over 281,000 page views.
On June 4th, the sympathy for Keanu spread to other Reddit users, resulting in the creation of other threads, usually with more derivatives of the image posted on the day prior.
