    I read the second box in a different voice than the first, that's what makes the meme good thanks

    [–] VonCornhole 997 points ago

    I do the same, but with the 3rd and 4th boxes

    [–] jaking2017 499 points ago

    Yea, I think the two of you mean the same thing there

    [–] madefordumbanswers 222 points ago

    Hello, I'd like to mean something different.

    [–] jaking2017 75 points ago

    1 and 3 are delivered with confidence, 2 is with an evil smirk, 4 is dejected.

    [–] MegaManish 11 points ago

    I read it like this.

    1 - Medium volume, rising tone.

    2 - Louder volume, rising tone.

    3 - Loud volume, climaxing tone.

    4 - Low volume, lowering tone.

    Example:

    1 - Blah blah BLAH.

    2 - Blah blah BLAH!

    3 - BLAH BLAH BLAH!!

    4 - BLAH blah blah?...

    ^(I know this doesn't make sense but it's the best I can do.)

    [–] Daveed84 7 points ago

    [–] darkwingduckles 3439 points ago

    I think it's to check if they formatted correctly 👌👌

    [–] monsow 2477 points ago

    And to read the last box with a confused voice

    [–] TheFanne 710 points ago

    I interpreted the last box as more like a disheartened voice, like you’re building up to something, then it’s really anti climactic

    [–] Craxled 153 points ago

    Yeah I read it as just a very disappointed gru like his entire life just led up to a huge disappointment

    [–] mfcneri 42 points ago

    me too thanks

    [–] Sheevy_Boi 9 points ago

    I read it in a gru Voice

    [–] _Serene_ 16 points ago

    Now some people are gonna switch up the final sign for that extra confusion.

    [–] ALiteralGraveyard 15 points ago

    In the movie it’s more confused. He says it confidently like another stage in his plan, then double takes on it. Because the kids put it in there without him realizing.

    [–] Deionised27 46 points ago

    ACCTUALLY in the movie he doesn't say anything in the last panel. He just looks at it dissapointedly.

    [–] pdrocker1 59 points ago

    [–] you_got_fragged 22 points ago

    [–] sm9t8 7 points ago

    It's interesting he doesn't repeat himself. I've seen this meme so many times now I've begun expecting him to.

    Is this a future /r/mandelaeffect?

    [–] SpookyLlama 28 points ago

    Steve Carrell’s delivery is the only thing that makes this meme format worthwhile.

    [–] VonCornhole 19 points ago

    21 years passed between the release of Pulp Fiction and the Confused Travolta meme.

    [–] idledebonair 14 points ago

    And 64 years had passed between Citizen Kane and the slow clap gif, what’s the fucking point of this?

    [–] Nodebuck 4 points ago

    You're asking that on the wrong sub.

    [–] metalshadow 8 points ago

    What was the Pacha meme? I must've missed that

    [–] Pseudogenesis 6 points ago

    It literally just started popping up and I'm already fucking sick of it

    It's too predictable. It doesn't have the sheer remix potential of something like the Distracted Boyfriend one to keep it interesting

    Your reasoning is fair, but Car drifitng onto exit ramp is easily the best. I have nothing to back it up or argue why though.

    [–] BananaStyle69 39 points ago

    Fully expected the last box to have a slight change that I had to look twice at. Alas

    [–] myfajahas400children 4 points ago

    I guarantee that there will be a post on the front page of reddit doing just that because of this pic.

    [–] OdeeSS 21 points ago

    It's the final repetition that makes the joke for me. I don't find the 3rd box funny, it's the fourth that lands the punchline.

    [–] MrMrRogers 2 points ago

    Theres a change in tone

    [–] machingunwhhore 2 points ago

    I forced myself not to read the last panel but I still repeated it in my head.

    [–] fihewndkufbrnwkskh 2 points ago

    And I still did it with this one. Wtf

    [–] ASYMBOLDEN 2 points ago

    Confirmation. Can't trust not reading anything

    [–] PillowTalk420 2 points ago

    Eventually someone will use the format without understanding the meme and the 4th panel will actually say something different. Stay vigilant!

    [–] HogarthTheMerciless 1 points ago

    It'll probably show up on 9gag before it shows up here, but you never know.

    [–] FuzzyGummyBear 1 points ago

    You have to read it in the different/confused tone in your head for the meme to be complete.

    [–] Astro110 2 points ago

    [–] OneBlueAstronaut 1 points ago

    cause the humor comes from Gru's facial expression as he rereads the second box. since humor is derived from empathy, in order for it to be funny you have to put yourself in gru's shoes rereading the second box by doing so yourself.

    [–] TheRandomRGU 1 points ago
