People Are Gay, Steven Meme Template

About this meme

This template is a screenshot from the NBC sitcom The Office, specifically the Season 9 episode "The Target." In the scene, Phyllis Vance (Phyllis Smith) delivers this blunt, matter-of-fact line to her husband's employee, Steven, while he is helping her in a supermarket. In meme culture, it is the definitive visual for stating the obvious, shutting down a naive or judgmental question, deadpan reality checks, or dismissing someone’s shock with a simple fact.

  • Phyllis (Foreground): With her heavy winter coat and skeptical, unamused gaze, representing The Voice of Reason, The Exhausted Expert, or The Truth.
  • The "People are gay, Steven" Caption: Representing The Simple Answer, The Hard Truth, or The Reality Check.
  • Steven (Out of Focus): Representing The Naive User, The Confused Beginner, or The Judgmental Commenter.
