In online imageboard communities like Reddit, Tumblr and 4chan, running sight-gags and humor based on popular culture sometimes catch on like wildfire and become widely recognizable. Known as memes, they typically take on a life of their own as more and more people with Photoshop skills join in on the fun.
Two popular photo-based memes known as “Sad Keanu” and “Strutting Leo” for example, refer to the famous Hollywood actors Keanu Reeves and Leonardo DiCaprio.
Today (and on Friday) these memes are given the Horn Matters treatment, with French horns being added to the mix.
