In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “Jimmy Butler Shocked” is an epic card of the Memes World series 77, number 22928 of the collection, and the 64th best-known meme of its 141 cards. Here is what the meme means, where it comes from, and how to get its card.
What does the “Jimmy Butler Shocked” meme mean?
The image suggests that Butler is trying to work out what a piece of information means. It captures confusion, disbelief, or shock at something absurd, contradictory, or badly worded. People use it when a statement seems so strange that it needs a second look, or when an explanation only makes things harder to understand.
Where does the “Jimmy Butler Shocked” meme come from?
The meme comes from a photograph taken during a game while Jimmy Butler was playing for the Minnesota Timberwolves. The photo’s exact date and photographer are unknown. Its earliest documented online use was on April 10, 2018, on Twitter, now known as X. User @gorzinhand posted it in response to an Oliver Maroney message about Western Conference playoff scenarios. The image was not taken from a video or television show. In a GQ Sports video, whose date is not specified, Butler later said he had been looking at a sheet of statistics, probably concerning Karl-Anthony Towns, who was close to a triple-double. Butler then crumpled the sheet and threw it away. Edited versions sometimes make the paper glow to heighten the reaction.
