Memes, much like humans, get their 15 minutes of fame too before they die down. But not for Anakin and Padmé’s meme which has stuck around a little bit longer to test mankind’s creativity. The four-panel photo was taken from the Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones scene where the pair were talking about dictatorship and democracy. The modern context of the meme is all about the delayed realization of the truth. That “Wait a minute” moment before you get slapped with what the other actually meant. Surprisingly, there are a lot of instances in life where that’s applicable. Here are the most hilarious ones:

(In case you didn’t get this one, it’s from The Cask of Amontillado, a short story by Edgar Allan Poe. Now laugh.)

Plus points for creative use of a meme.
Anakin is in this one, you just can’t see him.
