Wide-eyed cigar-chomping Tiger Woods fan is overnight Photoshop sensation
Nevertheless, it's Cigar Guy who is rapidly taking Sad Keanu's place as the literal face of goofy photo mashups, certified by Reddit and our favorite meme tracker, Urlesque.
Thank God for that. Sad Keanu images — and their Don Draper-adorned counterparts — are clever, but they leave us feeling, well, sad.
Cigar Guy, on the other hand, reflects positivity, optimism and wide-eyed wonderment — but without the can't-be-taken-seriously air of a Prancing Michael Cera. It's as if there was a Disney movie where the Banff Squirrel becomes a be-turbaned prince in order to win the heart of his golf-loving special lady. Wait a minute, somebody get me Elton John, we got an animated musical to write!
Since the meme's birth, other Cigar Guy galleries have cropped up. The biggest gallery, on Tauntr, depicts Cigar Guy in a series of classic sports photos, while the Dallas Observer contributed its own gallery of classic album covers brought appropriately up to date thanks to His Mustachioness.
