In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “X Doesn't Change Facial Expressions” is a rare card of the Memes World series 75, number 22473 of the collection, and the 57th best-known meme of its 300 cards. Here is what the meme means, where it comes from, and how to get its card.
What does the “X Doesn't Change Facial Expressions” meme mean?
The meme works through repetition: as dozens of photos taken at different moments scroll by, the face barely shifts. The effect is funny, a little hypnotic and sometimes unsettling. People use it to point at someone very unexpressive, to parody a celebrity’s eternal identical smile, or to joke about a fictional character who never changes. The “X” is a variable, so anyone can plug in a target of their choice.
Where does the “X Doesn't Change Facial Expressions” meme come from?
It starts with a SomethingAwful forum thread in January 2003, where users investigated a stranger met over instant messaging. Gathering her photos in one GIF, they noticed her expression never varied. That GIF, titled “Another Girl Who Doesn’t Change Facial Expressions”, was posted to YTMND in October 2005. The same month, user SpliceVW made the Lindsay Lohan version, one of the most popular. In January 2006 eBaum’s World hosted that GIF without credit, which sparked a feud between communities. The format then spread to Flash animations and YouTube videos, often set to “Call on Me”. On September 24, 2009, a compilation of more than 130 photos of Barack Obama appeared on Vimeo.
