Analyzing a Meme

This meme is a picture of a guy and a deer in his backyard posing with the caption, “Best friends off the court, sworn enemies on it. Athletes understand.”

I absolutely love this meme. It makes me laugh every time I see it. The way that he and the deer look like they have been friends and teammates for years is hilarious. The caption and pictures are something that I can see any male athlete in high school posting. The fact that instead of being with a friend in those photos, he is with a deer, is incredible.

One of my friends on my cross-country team and I would recreate this meme every year on the track on picture day. One picture would be of us regularly posing, and the other one would be of us ‘squaring up’ as if we were in the middle of an intense basketball game.

I do know the details behind this meme, (such as how he got the deer to pose with him, or if it is photoshopped), but it is a national treasure.
