What is the Blinking White Guy meme?
Blinking White Guy is a short clip of Drew Scanlon, a former video producer at the gaming site Giant Bomb, glancing sideways and doing a slow, incredulous double-blink. His expression says "did I just hear that correctly?" without a word, making it one of the internet's favorite ways to show disbelief or second-hand embarrassment. The still template captures the quizzical look and pairs it with the absurd statement that caused it, so the viewer can picture the blink happening right after.
Origin: The clip is from a 2013 episode of Giant Bomb's video series Unprofessional Fridays, where Scanlon reacts to a remark from a colleague. It went viral as a reaction GIF around 2017.
Also known as: Drew Scanlon Blinking, Blinking Guy GIF, White Guy Blinking.
How to use the Blinking White Guy meme
The top box usually starts the setup ("when they say", "me hearing") and the bottom box quotes the ridiculous line. Both together act like a subtitle for what made him blink.
It suits unexpected statements in meetings, bad takes, bizarre excuses and over-the-top announcements. The quote should be something said with a straight face that sounds absurd, so Drew's silent blink can do the judging.
