The medal was silver. The scowl, pure gold.
This is how Olympic gymnast and multiple medal-winner McKayla Maroney became the star of her very own viral Internet trend.
"Yeah, that's right, whatchu got Gabby Douglas??" (Oh.)
When the Olympic vault favorite stumbled and settled for silver, she couldn't hide her disgust during the medal ceremony. Maroney flashed a classic look of pouty disappointment, which has since been awesomely copied and pasted into photos of some of mankind's most awe-inspiring moments.
George Washington leads his men across the icy Delaware? McKayla Maroney is not impressed.
We got bin Laden?! Harumph.
Mars! We landed on Mars?!? Whatevs, nerds.
Ryan Gosling is calling? Not impressed.
Freakin' double rainbow??? Triple would be cooler.
A bunch of them are stashed over at the dedicated Tumblr, "mckayla is not impressed" and the list of entries is growing. Maroney herself even retweeted a link to the blog, so maybe that's the one thing that does impress her. And, apparently, cereal boxes!!!!
Well, maybe. A little. You know, whatever.
