In 2022 I was watching the new beauty and the beast with some family and thought "damn, Angela lansbury definitely did it better, I wonder how long ago she died" and looked her up. My spouse and I were surprised to find out she was still alive, and said as much. 3 days later, she died.
Last week, we were watching the Muppet treasure island and I looked up a more recent picture of Tim curry and thought "wow, he's old now"
Four days ago I saw a recent picture of dolly Parton and thought "she looks good for 80, I hope she is doing okay"
So here I sit, looking at a recent photo of the Cheeto Man, and I must say... He looks super old, I'm surprised he's not dead.
Thank you for the extra bits. I might have been bored if there was only just a meme here, but because of the game footage, body cam video, and Family Guy clip, I was thoroughly entertained the whole time.
I might also have missed the punchline, but you highlighted it in such a way as to be compatible with my rotted brain.
If you want it to gain traction post the transparent .PNG of Grover or else you'll be seeing a lot of Grover background and a lot less of the original images.
The strongest response is usually calm, dismissive, and confident. You want them to look like they're seeking attention while you look completely unfazed.
A few styles:
Cold: “If that’s what you’re here for, you’ll have to do better than that.”
Dismissive: “You’re confusing my patience with vulnerability.”
Cutting: “That’s an embarrassingly transparent attempt to get a reaction.”
Confident: “You can try. I’m not particularly impressed by threats from strangers.”
Very dry: “Noted. I’ll try to survive the ordeal.”
Boundary-setting: “You’re welcome to disagree with me. Harassment is a different matter.”
The one I'd choose for maximum “don't fuck with me” energy without "sounding like a tryhard":
“You’re confusing my patience with vulnerability.”
It makes you sound controlled rather than angry—which is generally much more intimidating than trying to out-insult them.

The Grover is 32 x 30 – scaled and then cropped in GIMP.

I'm not sure because I'm so hungry. Maybe after I crush a Mr. beast brand Feastable I'll be able to tell.

That's a relief. The original only had one Grover, which I thought wasn't acceptable for audiences in 2026.

Sorry, I'm sure this is thoughtful and well-written, but the word-to-Grover ratio is way off. I can't read it.

Please say my name. I’ve been thinking off good ways to off myself and have decided this is deep fried enough

As someone with ADHD, I really just hope this post sets an example for use of Grovers as an accessibility feature for shitposts going forward.
