Travolta gif transparent background. Travolta is confused - a new meme that makes users cry with laughter
21 years ago, John Travolta played a gangster named Vincent Vega in the cult film Pulp Fiction, and recently his famous character found a second life as an Internet meme. As always, for some unknown reason, the choice of restless users fell on Vincent Vega, who was elevated to a fashionable meme and began churning out hilarious photoshopped photos. The subject of the photoshop was the moment in the film when Vincent picked up the wife of his boss Marsellus Wallace, but cannot understand where her voice is coming from.
Original moment
It all started when an Imgur user with the nickname ILikeToWonkaMyWilly cut out Vincent's figure from a video using a video editor and superimposed it on a photo of a children's toy store
He called his first meme "When I asked my daughter what she wanted for Christmas and she said, 'a doll.'"
After that, he posted instructions on how to create such a meme online, and then away we go:
When they invited me to star in A-Ha's video, but didn't explain what "Take On Me" meant
When no one said that the lesson was canceled
When you can't find your car on a snowy morning
When you decided to buy a suit, but the seller left somewhere
When I came to Europe during the refugee crisis
When the driver forgot to pick you up
When I left Vault 111 (Fallout 4)
When you're transported into interstellar space and you can't find your daughter (Interstellar)
When your team left you alone on Mars
When you mixed up the bar
When at the clinic I asked “Who’s last?”
At a game of tennis
When you invited your friends to watch Pulp Fiction, but no one came
We also didn’t forget about “Inglourious Basterds,” another famous film by Quentin Tarantino
One of the most striking and iconic paintings Quentin Tarantino— “Pulp Fiction” is already more than 20 years old. However, venerable age does not prevent black comedy from becoming an increasingly large source of quotes and trends on the Internet. This includes memes and coubs. Charming bandit Vincent Vega - character John Travolta from “Pulp Fiction” - looking around and not understanding what is happening, now on the Internet he expresses bewilderment at any reason. He was turned into the main character to illustrate different life situations that cause confusion.
Dancer, pilot and actor
By the way, Travolta dreamed of being a pilot as a child; he has no other education other than pilot courses. In his youth, John collected model airplanes and also enjoyed watching flight exercises at a military base located near his home.
Having matured, he became more familiar with military procedures and decided that he would leave his career as a pilot. Then Travolta devoted himself to dancing and acting to earn a lot of money and buy his own plane.
The most popular role in “Pulp Fiction” went to Travolta almost by accident. Michael Madson was supposed to play gangster Vincent Vega in Quentin Tarantino's film, but he fell ill at the last moment. Literally at the last moment, the role was given to Travolta. The actor's fee for starring in Tarantino's film was only 150 thousand dollars. After the release of the film, it increased to $10 million.
Travolta in Russian reality
The history of memes began with a publication on Imgur, an online service for sharing pictures and photographs. One of the subscribers complained to users about the difficulty of fatherhood. The man couldn’t choose a gift for his daughter: for Christmas, the girl asked her dad for a doll. The blogger accompanied his comment with a short animated image of John Travolta in a toy store.
"My reaction when my daughter asked for a doll for Christmas"
For those who do not remember the original scene from “Pulp Fiction,” let us remind you that the reason for the confusion of Travolta’s hero, who came to the wife of the stern boss Mia Wallace, was the loudspeakers installed in the room. Vega is at first lost and funny, throwing up his hands in search of the source of the voice.
Original from the movie "Pulp Fiction"
The witty idea was immediately picked up by other users. “Confused Travolta” immediately spread around the world and is now invariably surprised by any event that is actively discussed on the Internet. Now everyone can offer their own versions of situations that could confuse John Travolta.
Today, Travolta feels great against the backdrop of a variety of scenery - from parking lots drowned in snow and a night landscape to a kindergarten, a queue at a Russian clinic and a Microsoft Windows desktop.
