Spoiler Alert: She is often shocked. It seems that Distracted Boyfriend's ball and chain is very much typecast in her stock photo shoots. Twitter user Ernie Smith wowed the site with an extra large dump of her past work - much of it involving looking shocked while staring at a screen.

Last night's 10th annual Shorty Awards may be receiving a lot of attention for Adam Pally's apparent mental breakdown, but the fun didn't stop there. The awards show honors the best of short-form content - and this includes memes. 2017's meme nominees included the Expanding Brain, Right In Front Of My Salad, and Roll Safe, but there can only be one winner. It's really no surprise that Distracted Boyfriendcame out on top.
The versatile meme was an insanely viral hit, resulting in backstory investigations and hundreds upon hundreds of incredibly relatable memes. We dug up some of the best examples from the Know Your Meme galleries, but you can visit the nearly 300 image collection here.
People always seem to be forgetting this incredibly important rule: If you pose with a sign or a piece of paper, you will get meme'd.

His dare for people to change his mind on the matter was quickly turned into a prolific meme. Here are our favorites of the bunch.
The "Distracted Boyfriend" meme is perhaps the stock photo meme to end all stock photo memes. People got so into it that the backstory was discovered by some internet sleuths. The meme went viral in late August - and was used to describe situations ranging from dating and politics to super specific themes like Greek mythology. This meme's versatility is the root of its strength, so we doubt we've seen the end of Distracted Boyfriend.
Everyone draws the line somewhere when it comes to dating. It could be someone's career, their table manners, but most often, deal breakers are political. A Thai web comic from November that addresses these political limits has recently gone viral on Reddit and Imgur.
In the comic, a man decides to forego having sex with his date after seeing a photo of Thailand's Deputy Prime Minister Suthep Thaugsuban on her dresser. Crafty internet users have decided to make the comic a little more universal, incorporating themes that range from Flat Earth Theory to the Distracted Boyfriend meme. We've rounded up the cream of the crop for your viewing pleasure.
