It was the meme of the year.
While there have been some fab memes in 2017, we have to say that this one was one of our faves.
It stood as a great explainer to anyone who was confused, or in disbelief.
Just take a look here:

See? Twitter has got a lot of mileage out of it this year.
And now, the man behind the meme has finally been revealed, and we were not expecting this:

He appeared on Good Morning America and his name is Drew Scanlon, from San Francisco.
He told the Guardian earlier this year: “I like what memes can do for people. They’re such fun, throwaway things I see. These memes have been generally positive.
“It’s a little scary because there’s always the danger someone could change it to something different.
“It’s not like I’ve a say in what the internet does with a gif of my face. But I’m pleased to see people are enjoying it.”
