AboutWhat does the meme depict?
The 'Stares Motherfuckerly' meme features a photoshopped subtitle that describes the intense expression on Samuel L. Jackson's face. This expression is captured in a screenshot from the 1994 film Pulp Fiction, where Jackson, portraying the character Jules, is seen staring forward with a look of disbelief or skepticism. The subtitle, typically reading '[STARES MOTHERFUCKERLY],' enhances the humor by exaggerating the intensity of his gaze, turning the image into an expressive meme for situations of disbelief or doubt.
OriginWho did it first?
The meme originated from an anonymous post on Imgur on April 20th, 2016. The post included a screenshot of Samuel L. Jackson from Pulp Fiction, featuring an intense stare, with the photoshopped subtitle '[STARES MOTHAFUCKALY].' The poster inquired if this could become a popular meme format. Later, on June 9th, an Imgur user named GleamingTurd uploaded a remade version of the image with a new screenshot and the adjusted subtitle '[STARES MOTHERFUCKERLY],' which became the standard for subsequent memes.[1]
