Unamused Ben Affleck Spurs a New Meme at the Grammys

Image Source: Getty / Kevin Mazur Ben Affleck inspired a viral meme once more. The actor became the talk of the 2023 Grammys when he was spotted looking wholly unamused throughout the award show. Viewers first caught a glimpse at Affleck's RBF (Resting Ben Face) during Stevie Wonder and Chris Stapleton's "Higher Ground" duet; as other celebrity attendees grooved along to the Motown performance, the camera zoomed in on Affleck giving a few pained head nods while wife Jennifer Lopez shimmied along to the music in her embellished Gucci gown. Later on, Affleck was seen aimlessly glancing around looking similarly bored and likely in search of a Dunkin' caffeine boost. Those sneaky camera operators sure knew what they were doing.

"Ben Affleck is every introvert everywhere. You can see his batteries draining in real time. Man is already at 23%," one Twitter user wrote alongside a GIF of the actor during the ceremony. Other people compared him to "every man dragged to a couples baby shower" and "me any time I have to be on a zoom call." We can always count on Twitter to come through and deliver on award show nights. This is far from Affleck's first rodeo as a meme star. In addition to the ubiquitous "sad Affleck meme" from his 2016 "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" press tour, he's also drummed up internet discourse for falling asleep on a boat in Paris during his post-wedding family vacation, balancing a Dunkin' iced coffee on top of several teetering Amazon packages, and seemingly mediating while standing and smoking a cigarette. On purpose or not, Affleck continues to keep the internet satiated, and for that, we thank him. Related: Why Was No One Eating the Stunning Charcuterie Boards at the Grammys?
