AboutWhat does the meme depict?

The "Stares Motherfuckerly" meme features a photoshopped image of actor Samuel L. Jackson. This image shows Jackson in a scene from the 1994 film Pulp Fiction, where he is captured staring forward with a dumbfounded expression. The meme includes a caption that typically reads "[STARES MOTHERFUCKERLY]," overlayed as a subtitle to emphasize his intense gaze, and is often used to express disbelief or doubt in various contexts.

OriginWho did it first?

The meme originated from a post on Imgur by an anonymous user on April 20th, 2016. The post showcased a screenshot of Samuel L. Jackson as Jules from the film Pulp Fiction, staring intensely forward with a photoshopped subtitle that read "[STARES MOTHAFUCKALY]." The user queried if this could become an established concept. Subsequently, on June 9th, another Imgur user, GleamingTurd, uploaded a revised version using a different screenshot of Jackson with the subtitle altered to "[STARES MOTHERFUCKERLY]." This version became the more recognized format of the meme.^[1]
