    …is this meme template not supposed to signify greed or gluttony? doesn’t the guy stuff his face with something while looking someone straight in the eye?

          Maybe that makes it a separate thing then if people can’t recognize the original context, what movie is this even from

      I think it’s simply a reaction face like “WTF did you do?” or “WTF did I just hear?” type of response.

          Yes. Sometimes memes are transformative, ya know? Hell, some are completely made up and aren’t even in the original shows/movies they are referencing.

          That being said, the AI part was disappointing to me too tho.

      I’m with you. This could be a template that 9/10 perfectly expresses a specific idea, instead they use it as a 4/10 catchall reaction that could mean anything.
