Worst. Apocalypse. / EVER.
A Grumpy Cat post.
Grumpy Cat was Tardar Sauce, a cat from Arizona whose feline dwarfism and underbite gave her a permanent frown. Her owner's brother posted her photos to Reddit in 2012. She died in 2019. By all accounts she was a calm, gentle cat. Her face simply disagreed with everything, and the internet decided her face was right. The top line offers something nice; the bottom line refuses it. "I had fun once. It was awful." "You're excited it's Friday? Monday is coming." "Smile? No." She went on to books, a Christmas TV film and more magazine covers than most actors - all while looking unimpressed by every one of them. Few celebrities have stayed so on-brand. **Why it caught on:** sometimes the honest answer to everything is "no", and she said it without a single word.
