In the TikToks, Jensen’s Chill Girl patronizes Amber (the woman you, the viewer, assume the role of) with subtle barbs and faux sincerity. One of Kelsey Jensen’s most popular POV characters is “Chill Girl,” a close friend of your boyfriend Jason who either doesn’t understand boundaries or is intentionally looking to cross them. One popular trend that popped up in early February relied on rapper Lil Uzi Vert’s song “ Heavy Metal,” which includes the lyrics: “’ Pick me,’ like, ‘Pick me,’ like, ‘Pick me,’ like, ‘Pick me.’ TikTokers used the song to identify what they believe to be pick-me behavior, like preferring beer over fruity drinks or wearing minimal makeup.Ī variant of the pick-me girl has also become the subject of a popular POV TikTok, in which comedians or actors portray relatable characters - like WASP moms or a random teacher coming into your classroom during a test - reacting to various scenarios.
Now, in 2021, TikTok has become the new home of the pick-me girl, with a canon of content dedicated to lampooning and riffing on the trope. Truly not like you hoes? #TweetLikeAPickMe - s-money June 25, 2018 I am not like girls in this generation I take CARE of my man, I cook for him everyday, chew his food, spit it into HIS mouth and tell him he’s my king. Typically, a male character will use that exact or similar phrasing to compliment a female character after she chugs a pint of beer or expresses disdain for something “feminine.” While at face value it seems like a compliment, the subtext ends up validating outdated ideas that deem traditional markers of femininity as frivolous, vapid or otherwise disreputable.
#Can you pick me up meme tv
While pick-me-ism encompasses many behaviors, examples include slut-shaming other women for promiscuous behavior or attire, complaining that women are “too much drama” (one reason she prefers to hang out with the boys) and promoting herself as the cool, laidback chick who’s “not like other girls” - a line so well-trafficked that it’s considered a TV trope. She’s what’s known as a Pick-Me, and the internet loves to hate her.Īccording to Urban Dictionary, the official source for all things internet lingo, a pick-me girl is “a girl who seeks male validation by indirectly or directly insinuating that she is ‘not like the other girls.’ Basically a female version of a simp.” The pick-me often puts down other women in an attempt to garner male attention and, as Urban Dictionary notes, male validation, playing into patriarchal and misogynistic stereotypes. She might flirt with someone’s boyfriend and she definitely wore Converses to her prom. I would recommend a "Marty I'm Scared" entry with a section on "Mom Come Pick Me Up I'm Scared".She likes beer and sports and hanging with the guys. I know it's the same kind of Twitter users I see posting them. I can't say if the 2 are related, but it seems very possible that the original quote and meme would have inspired another "scared" macro of another starfish from the same show. I know I've seen it before, but I can't find it elsewhere by reverse image search. In this tweet's replies, there's a derivative of his real mother Margie (from "I'm with Stupid") driving him in a car. On May 20, this tweet of a screencap (below) of the moment automatically grabbed by bot account got over 5k likes and 1k retweets, largely due to recognition of the meme. The other highly similar macro is a made up quote added to Patrick's sweater in the episode "My Pretty Seahorse". I've found 2 different derivatives where her hair is edited out and it says "Snatched" instead of "Scared" in reference to wig snatching. This is a different screencap than the scene where it's said (though there are less common macros and GIF's from the real scene).
It's said in the episode "I'm with Stupid" by Janet to her husband Marty after Patrick Star finds out they're not his parents.
In fact, they're reposted so damn much I can't find good, original quality versions of either. These are 2 different shocked reaction image macros from SpongeBob SquarePants often posted on Twitter.
