{"id":"sad-keanu","name":"Sad Keanu","summary":"Sad Keanu is a 2010 photoshop meme built from a paparazzi shot of Keanu Reeves eating a sandwich alone on a park bench. Editors cut the slumped actor out of the frame and dropped him into new backdrops, while a parallel branch added cartoon companions to cheer him up. It broke wide on Reddit in early June 2010 and led to a fan-organized Cheer Up Keanu Day event.","tags":["sad keanu","sad keanu meme","keanu reeves meme","cheer up keanu","keanu reeves bench photo","sad keanu photoshop","2010 memes"],"howToUse":[],"imageCount":6,"nsfw":false,"images":[{"url":"https://fcdtoybbbn2ccxbp.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/images/sad-keanu/sad-keanu-original-sad-keanu-photo.webp","caption":"The original 2010 paparazzi photograph of Keanu Reeves eating alone on a Manhattan park bench that launched the 'Sad Keanu' meme.","width":1280,"height":720,"nsfw":false},{"url":"https://fcdtoybbbn2ccxbp.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/images/sad-keanu/sad-keanu-4chan-origin-thread.webp","caption":"The June 2010 4chan thread on /a/ that helped spread the Sad Keanu photograph across the internet.","width":680,"height":413,"nsfw":false},{"url":"https://fcdtoybbbn2ccxbp.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/images/sad-keanu/sad-keanu-dennou-coil-image-macro.webp","caption":"An early Sad Keanu image macro from 4chan's anime board referencing the series Dennou Coil.","width":680,"height":979,"nsfw":false},{"url":"https://fcdtoybbbn2ccxbp.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/images/sad-keanu/sad-keanu-paparazzi-photo-series.webp","caption":"Additional shots from the same 2010 paparazzi series that produced the iconic Sad Keanu image.","width":500,"height":703,"nsfw":false},{"url":"https://fcdtoybbbn2ccxbp.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/images/sad-keanu/sad-keanu-tumblr-trends-chart.webp","caption":"Tumblr Trends data showing the viral spike of 'Sad Keanu' searches in mid-June 2010.","width":680,"height":570,"nsfw":false},{"url":"https://fcdtoybbbn2ccxbp.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/images/sad-keanu/sad-keanu-cheer-up-collage.webp","caption":"A fan-made 'Cheer Up' photoshop collage created to console Sad Keanu.","width":680,"height":418,"nsfw":false}],"historyUrl":"https://fcdtoybbbn2ccxbp.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/images/sad-keanu/history.md","related":["boozecats","cocky-want-boing-boing","dr-phil-mm","er-pelliccia","floating-filipino-government-officials","mo-farah-running-away-from-things","vanity-fairs-hollywood-portfolio-cover","blonde-aoc","brazzers","brock-obama","cnn-fiery-but-mostly-peaceful-protests-parodies","connect-four"],"popularityRank":3095,"license":"Meme images and history: templates, screenshots, photos and fan edits, many of copyrighted material or real people.
