Meme Watch: Prancing Cera

Edgar Wright, the director of Scott Pilgrim vs. the World and the writer/director of Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz, kickstarted a meme this week when he posted the picture of Michael Cera to the right on his Flickr page.

Almost immediately a tumblr page called fyeahprancingcera started, while sites like BuzzFeed started collecting user-submitted photoshops, and comedy tumblr pages like TheFrogman added more lulz. I’ve collected twenty-one of my favorite Prancing Ceras below, along with a few photoshops of my own.

The next two photographs are the first thing I thought of, and sure enough, someone else had noticed this, too:

I spoke too soon, this is the gayest one. [via]

Wait, this is the gayest. [via]

Damn it. Okay, it couldn’t possibly get gayer than this. Right? [via]

I stand corrected. We’ve reached the limit. Let’s move on before they start sparkling. [via]

And now, Michael and Homer hang out for a while:

I didn’t know he was friends with Sarah Jessica Parker. [via]
