What realization did Jennifer Garner just come to? pic.twitter.com/pWtycEDEVs

Jennifer Garner became a meme after the Oscars when footage came out of her looking like she’d just remembered something or had seen something that bothered her. She was clapping and put her hands down before the other audience members. I think Jezebel’s Bobby Finger was the first to put it on Twitter so it happened sometime in the first 25 minutes of the ceremony. (I tried rewatching that part but I couldn’t find it and was annoyed to have to sit through even a few minutes again. That show already ate up four hours of my time on Sunday.)
There were so many cute responses to Finger’s twitter question and it became a minor meme.
left oven on at home. stars: they're just like us.

"God, did I really stick around for 12 years?"

Well Garner went on her Instagram story and she replayed that clip a few times with a voiceover. It was pretty cute. Finger saved it for us in a tweet below. In case you can’t listen to what she said, here it is:
Congrats to Shape of Water, maybe I should date a fish.
Hey Jimmy Kimmel what’s in your wallet? Wait where’s my wallet?
Can’t wait to work with Lena Dunham. Wait did I sign a nudity waiver?
The “what’s in your wallet” reference is to her Capital One commercials. Those are so annoying right? Also she also plugged her new show coming up with Dunham, she talked about that on the red carpet too.
This is how you take back the narrative, by joking about it, and it was smart. However I have a 13 year-old and he often tells me that I use old memes, that I use memes wrong, and that I’m mildly out of touch. He would find her responses silly, but that’s what she was going for. Garner will be facing that soon enough with her own kids if she isn’t already. Also, for as much as she uses social media she doesn’t post photos of her kids and she doesn’t tell personal stories about them. We should give her some credit for that.

Also her arms are incredible.

Rooting for her to win at life and so far she is. Good for her. Also, dear god she is gorgeous. These instagram plus 40s (Garner and Halle) are giving me life.
Agree about these over 40’s!! Halle and Garner both look amazing. It’s somewhere between inspirational and depressing that both look so damn good!
I was looking at some old pics of Halle when she won her Oscar and girlfriend has not aged a day. How is that possible?! I know black don’t crack but that is some witchcraft^^
With Halle, I’m wondering if it’s the lack of extra sugar in her diet? I’ve heard that sugar ages you. Don’t know if it’s actually true or not.
Queen of Hollywood
That’s a bit of an exaggeration Cary.
Still upset she chose to work with Lena Dunham.
Dunham is pure trash. Her and Jenni Konner’s statement was disgusting. Her follow up ‘apology’ wasn’t an apology and said sorry to no one. It just said, ‘whoops, should have kept my mouth shut!’ She’s toxic and continues to fail upwards. Sad Garner would be ok working with her (or really anyone).
Says a lot about Jen’s values. And she was hanging out with Chelsea Handler just after Lindsay and Ben came out as a couple.
I’m disappointed too. I liked Jennifer in Alias and was routing for her to have a good TV comeback, but I want nothing to do with anything Lena related. I would think she was all signed up before Lena publicly accused a rape victim of lying, but still, Lena was plenty problematic before that too.
I love that dress though, that color!
Cute and #armgoals
Her arms are going straight to my Pinterest motivational board, alongside Michelle O’s!
#armgoals for sure!
I love that dress. That is all I’m here to say.
#armgoals all the way!! I don’t know, I hold a bit of a soft spot for her because of 13 Going on 30. She was so funny in that. I also like that she was a good sport about this.
+1 on #armgoals, and my soft spot for her comes from Juno.
All I know is that gown is so beautiful.
Arms? All I see are the lips and the breast implants!
As for the meme, maybe the person in the seat let one go and she is just reacting to it?
They are people who insist Angelina Jolie’s lips are not real when even her kids as the same but not a peep about Jen G’s obviously enhanced lips. Has anyone ever seen her high school pics?
Yes, thin upper lip with a super gummy smile. In fact, I always see IG ads from plastic surgery offices using that before and after of JG as a way to promote botox. Apparently, it relaxes the lip muscles so they cover the gums.
As for the meme, my male millenial co-worker said it best, “That face is like her only move. She always looks like she’s about to cry.”
Benignly uncool fits her brand perfectly. With it enough to know thst she’s a meme, mom enough to be a little uncool about it, sweet and self-deprecating enough to make it into a joke, business savvy enough to use into plug projects. I think she’s bit of a genius.
I’m just here for the arms.
I thought Jennifer had a hilarious response to her Oscar meme! I think it is great when one can laugh at oneself!
Maybe if Ben had a hilarious response to his meme during the interview with Henry Cavill, he would not have been trolled so badly online.
I love her look. This is how you get back at that lying cheating douchebag. By looking like a gazillion bucks.
She looks beautiful. That dress is really spectacular.
