Many of the internet memes of recent memory both gain traction and really take off because they are derived from familiar pop culture visuals. “Powerful Shaggy” is based upon a beloved character of a popular and enduring children’s cartoon. “Big Chungus” is just an image of Bugs Bunny taken out of its original context, as…

Once Upon A Time In Hollywood: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ELeMaP8EPAA Katie: I have only two syllables to describe what I just witnessed: oy vey.
