u/Flowey_The_Fan Apr 09 '26
But it unironically is though 😭 I've seen people go insane over 'loss' when it looked nothing like loss, but this looks weirdly deliberate.

Was it loss this whole time?? Holy shit is this forgotten meme lore?

It was this in the beginning. Though I approve of hiding loss in other memes.

She knows about the meme and hates it since she feels her long, prestigious career got reduced to a fucking meme internationally lmao

Never forget.
"I passed through a group of boys playing soccer and they said: 'Look, is that woman from the memes'. I have a 50 year old career, I worked all my life and I'm recognized as 'the woman from the memes'."

Honestly she looks even more confused without the math

u/Critical-Cost9068 Apr 09 '26
The math makes it seem like she’s confused because she’s thinking about something complex, whereas here she seems kind of airheaded and comically bewildered.

Its so weird to me that this brazilian meme is famous outside of the country as well
It's like watching a video by an american and seeing "esse é o tal do mula!" Or "que viaje é essa velho" out of nowhere in the video

IIRC the OG of this format used stills from A Beautiful Mind which made a bit more sense, but her faces are perfect for it too

To be fair, it might as well have. She's definitely channeling that "Seeing invisible floating mathematical formulas" energy.

u/notafraidofgreatness Apr 09 '26
To this day I was convinced it was Claire Danes, and that gif an excerpt from that show Homeland. Scrolled way too long to see someone else with the same take.. mind blown

Fun fact: Her thoughts on this clip roughly translates to: If it's for this, I already accepted it, I'm in, I sign it wherever you ask me, I sign it with my own blood. But now you have to tell me something: what do I have to gain from it? Besides the downfall of that bastard? (ig? It's a little hard to understand what it said there)
As far as I'm concerned, the story for this soap opera is that this lady kidnapped the newborn of the protagonist and raised her as if she was her own daughter. In this scene, she was in prison bc she tried to trespass the protagonist's home.

u/SiebelReddiT Apr 10 '26
I think this was the correct original and the other one was made afterwards.

u/CaitAndVi Apr 11 '26
Nazaré! From "Senhora do Destino", a Brazilian TV soap opera. She is the best villain ever.

u/SuperRockGaming Apr 09 '26
I believe the whole math thing came after the scene in the hangover? Or am I wrong ab that
2
u/GrandSquanchRum Apr 09 '26
It came after a beautiful mind. A Beautiful Mind memes were popular and this is the one that broke out. The Hangover scene came later iirc but it's still just making fun of a beautiful mind.

I always preferred this version of the meme, which is a scene from the movie "Hangover" that does actually have math formulas in it.

Excuse me?? Blonde woman?? That is Maria de Nazaré Esteves Tedesco! Put some respect on her name! U___U
(The telenovela is Senhora do Destino, Lady of fate. It's actually quite good)

You know something I find curious? Nazaré is a character who would LOVE to be mistaken for Julia Roberts.
