‘Robert B. Weide’ Video Memes
A humorous film is presented, frequently with a hilariously disastrous finish, and just as the action is about to take place, the video cuts to the aforementioned credits.
One of the most popular is this Miss Universe 2015 meme. When Steve Harvey introduced the incorrect Miss Universe in 2015, the entire internet crashed.
It serves as the ideal illustration of how to apply this meme template. Because a terrible event is going to happen.
Who is Robert B. Weide?
Robert B. Weide is a celebrated director, producer, and writer who is more than just an Internet meme. His comedic documentaries on W. C. Fields, Mort Sahl, Lenny Bruce: Swear to Tell the Truth, and Woody Allen are well recognized.
Once, he had a dedicated Facebook “fan” page made for him. It had a small following for the first several years—roughly 200 people—but later on, that following began to increase dramatically. The page manager wondered why and placed a message inquiring as to what was drawing visitors to the page. You’re a part of a new internet video meme, which is essentially any brief but amusing video with your credits rolling at the end, said one fan succinctly in response.
Robert was prompted by this answer to Google “Directed by Robert B. Weide,” and sure enough, there were hundreds of videos of embarrassing encounters, mistakes made by people, and failed stunts, all of which were followed by the “Curb” theme song and my directorial credit.
He posted a disclaimer on his fan page, stating that he had nothing to do with these memes, as his audience and the number of videos grew. It was useless. He was being referred to as the “Meme King” in a ton of new posts. Both marriage proposals and job queries for his “studio” came his way. He does his work at home.
And yet, there are innumerable Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook profiles that bear his name and post the video memes.
In June 2020, he posted a picture of a guy with a tattoo reading “Directed by Robert B. Weide,” pleading with followers to refrain: “Not at all. For the love of God. Then halt.”
It is therefore obvious that he is not the creator of the memes, but we must also remember that without him, we would not be able to enjoy these entertaining videos.
