Where Did This Gif Come From?

I would say there are only a handful of programs better than ours. Wendy Williams is definitely one of them. (music plays) Here we are. And there you are. So here I am. Now, I love a good jif. Sometimes I stare at a "gif" on a loop for hours, even when I'm driving. But the truth is that I have no idea

where

the "jifs"

come

from. I don't even know how to pronounce those damn things, but I've done some research. - Hmm. And I discovered the original videos of some of the most popular gifs, and I'm going to quiz Rhett about them.

This is Rhett. It's time to... Here's how

this

will work. - I'm going to show you a jif-gif. - I see what you did. I'll give you multiple choices of the origin story of said gif-jif, and then if you guess three right, you'll win your own... -..."custom jif." -Should we just establish a way of pronouncing it as the official position of "Good Morning Mythical"? Or should we just keep people in suspense and keep coming and going and chattering? - Let's continue astride... - Okay. the running ditch full of jif-gifs. But I'm not going to say it both together. - I'm just going to say "jif"-- - Both: Or "gif." But not both.

Known as the best gif of 2017 and quite possibly one of the best "jifs" of all time, of course, White Guy Blinking. There he is being white and blinking. - Rhett: Mm-hmm. - Never change. It's just what you put on it... - Rhett: Yes. - That changes everything. It's so good. So good. Rhett, who is

this

white man and why is he blinking? Is He A, local news anchor Steve Winkler responding to an inappropriate joke made by the meteorologist; B, video producer Drew Scanlon reacts to his colleague playing an action-adventure video game during a live broadcast; C, commercial actor Brian Stocker in a LensCrafters commercial trying to read the bottom line of an eye chart; or D, a social outcast desperately trying to wink at an attractive woman for the first time? - "How I do this?" - Wow. - I have to catch that girl. - There's a lot of context here.

Hey, this guy doesn't look like an actor. It doesn't look like he's concentrating on one... one line of text. It seems like the one that's most disappointing is the one that makes the most sense to me. - Which is it? Video producer Drew Scanlon reacts to his colleague playing an action-adventure video game during a live stream. Like, "Who cares?" Exactly. That's why this became so big, because the origin doesn't even matter. Irony, darling. B! - You are right. - Hey hey! But I don't know if irony influences it. Let's watch the clip it came from and see what he's reacting to. ...so I've been growing something with my hoe here.

I can even the... What kind of... so what is that? Oh, he just said "hoe." He said, "So I've been doing some farming here with my hoe." Oh! Is it that simple? As simple as that. Alright, here's another one. Have you ever felt confused and unimpressed at the same time? Well, no one does it better than the woman in this epic side-eye "jif." - Link: Look at it. - Rhett: Oh, is she in "Wendy"? Yes she is. Who is she? What's happening? Is she an audience member on "The Wendy Williams Show" reacting to Khloe Kardashian's daddy drama?

Is she an audience member on "The Wendy Williams Show" reacting to Wendy's fight with Ronda Rousey? Or C, an audience member on "The Wendy Williams Show" reacting to Wendy putting a wig on a cat? Or an audience member at Coachella who realizes that everyone around her is watching Molly? Oh, ho, ho, yes. - That's the look. - Hmm. - So what is it? - If you can't talk to "Wendy", at least talk to Molly. - (laughs) - It's not true. - (laughter continues) Khloe Kardashian's fatherly drama, Ronda Rousey's arm wrestling or Wendy putting a wig on a cat?

Man, you know, any of these things could happen on Wendy's show. - That show... - All in one episode. I would say there are only a handful of programs better than ours. "Wendy Williams" is definitely one of them. Who else? -Mauri. - Well. What is your answer? C, cat, wig. (robotic voice) C, cat, wig. Jif, gif, cat, wig. Well. Let's find out. One audience member on Khloe Kardashian's (sputter) biological father has always been in doubt. You've heard this story. Many of us thought it might be OJ Simpson, and I've even joked: "Khlo-J." You know, it would be a perfect name.

Rhett: Heh heh. Oh. (laughs) - Oh, she saw it too. -Yes, she did, and then she calls her. She says, "We just took your picture, girl. It was the perfect reaction." - Oh, she did see it. - Yes, she said that on the show. You didn't understand it well. Here's another one. "Amazing" jifs have been popular for as long as gifs have been around, but this is perhaps the best "awesome" gif of all. He looks a bit like Robert DeNiro, but he's not. - Rhett: Wow... - Link: What weird superhero video is this from? - Just continue.

Croatian Batman, Italian Spider-Man, Brazilian Wonder Woman or Canadian GMM. I didn't know we had that. - Wow. - Wow, he says. Oh, wow! These are all very intriguing to me. (sizzling) - Italian Spider-Man. - It is, and I just wanted an excuse to show a clip of the Italian Spider-Man. This is a context. - Rhett: Dead woman. - (woman crying) - (Rhett laughs) - (announcer speaks Italian) What? Is it Spider-Man in Italy? -Yes.-I hope he is. - That's him. - No, this guy at the end. Yeah, that guy is the Italian Spider-Man. - That? - Smoking the cigarette.

We gotta move, man. America is so crazy! - Pizza too. - Yes, mm-hmm. - There are many reasons. -This next "jif"

come

s from a rap battle on Deshawn Raw's YouTube channel with his alter ego Supa Hot Fire. What epic rap lyric did he just utter to provoke this incredible reaction? - Have you seen this. - Oh, this is... this is one of the most popular of all time. Or, "Did you ever know that you are my hero and everything I would like to be? I can fly higher than an eagle, because you are the wind..." - Both: Beneath my wings.

Man, this whole thing is a lot dumber than I would have expected, - given the reaction. - Taken out of context, they can... they can be used for any situation. The smartest one is your mom and politely declining her invitation, so I'm going to choose that one. Let's find out if he's right. I broke up with my ex-girlfriend. Here is her number. Psychoanalyze! That's the wrong number! - (everyone clamoring) - (Rhett laughs) It's about surrender. It's about delivery, you know? It's about rhyming "number" and "number." - That's what I think it is. - That's how it is.

You misunderstood, Rhett. You have to get one more right to get your own "jif". - I really want it. - Below is an excited boy birthday gif, showing an excited boy at a birthday. - Link: Have you seen this one? - Rhett: This is new to me. But what is it that excites this child so much? Is this "jif" taken from a home video of a birthday party after a man dressed as a dinosaur walks in with a tray of dinosaur-shaped chicken nuggets? A music video called "I died on my birthday" starring Alfonso Ribeiro? - Carlton from "Fresh Prince." - Mm-hmm.

C, a local commercial showing a birthday party

where

former Minnesota Twins outfielder Tori Hunter crashed? - Oh my God. - O D, a scene from the upcoming TBS show "Get Out: The Early Years." Oh! Oh! This definitely doesn't look like a home video. Um, uh, Alfonso... I feel like I'm familiar... with all of Alfonso's work. - Mm-hmm. - You know what I'm talking? - Well. I feel like I would know this happened because I follow him so closely. So I'm going with the Minnesota Twins, Tori Hunter! Let's find out! We have a special guest, the children.

It's Tori Hunter of the Minnesota Twins! Look look. Look look. - (Rhett laughs) - Link: Look at that kid. The boy is an actor. To me, that undermines the power of the "jif." Oh, but he's really excited to see Tori. Imagine how excited you would be if you really knew who Tori Hunter is. - Know? - Good? Yes. Wow, he would have been speechless. Alright, you got three right, so you win your own "jif"! I'm looking for it, but it's digital! - Show him. - Oh. It's when... look, those are sunglasses stuck to your peanut butter hair.

They are your glasses, not sunglasses. They are your glasses. That's when you tried to stick your nose in my ear. Remember that? I remember that. - Carry it in your pocket. - I will do that.
