The Unserious Meme-ification of Serious Kevin Hart

Kevin Hart is the internet’s favorite meme right now (and he knows it, too). For the past few days, I haven’t been able to scroll through Twitter without seeing the actor’s serious face used in a hilarious, unserious manner.

Now, there’s been plenty of Hart memes in the past, especially those pulled from his standup specials or films. He often jokes around on-screen and is an overall amusing entertainer, so becoming a reaction photo here and there is kind of expected.

What makes this wave of Hart memes extra funny is that tweeters are using random images of the comedian from magazine spreads or Getty, where he hits generic man poses like the thinker, praying hands, or the modelesque blank-stare.

Many (Hart included) want to know what started this viral trend. And here’s the thing: the Jumanji star did nothing at all, save announce more stops for his “Reality Check” comedy tour.

Instead, the actor is just so serious in these photos that it’s, well, LOL-worthy (especially to the folks on the bird app). Even Hart found the tweets to be “funny as hell,” per an IG post.

Perhaps, that’s the point — well, maybe for some of the photos. I mean, he is a comedian, people. I wouldn’t be surprised if he fooled around in a few flicks (the weird hands one, to be specific). Maybe. Who knows?

Nonetheless, thanks to the actor and his plethora of unserious photos, the internet scored a deal with a pack of new Hart reaction pics. And as you can see below, Twitter is having a ball with them.
