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.
