Meme babies: Where are they now?

Remember the baby in that viral meme or vine from a while ago that you randomly remembered while talking to someone (and had to spend seven minutes searching for it while assuring said someone it’ll be “totally worth it”)? It might surprise you to know there are real people and real stories behind these temporarily famous faces. Surely they’re no longer the same icons making rounds on social media, but let’s take a glance into what the babies and kids from popular culture are up to today.

Business call baby

He’s studying at Queen’s Commerce and is running late for his next coffee chat. He’ll get back to you about scheduling that rooftop photo-shoot.

Skeptical baby

He uses Twitter mainly to interact with Ben Shapiro’s tweets because he just doesn’t get the rest of Twitter. Also, you wouldn’t get it, but Joe Rogan is a brilliant guy and super insightful so you should check out his show.

Suit baby

This is the real Boss Baby. DreamWorks’ attorneys issued him a gag order last week. He hasn’t been seen by media outlets in months and his spokesperson is calling the corporate actions taken against his client “atrocious” and “life-ruining.”

Success Kid

This kid here, listen, this kid is SO successful he practically surpassed every obstacle and every naysayer who claimed he’d never be able to accomplish what he did. I’m telling you, he rose to an astronomically high level of success no one would’ve ever perceived. Seriously, nobody would’ve guessed it, not in a million years. Really, none of us thought this would happen or that we’d be here like this today. Ever.

Drunk baby

He studied finance at Laurier and works at RBC, but he still goes clubbing. Stood in line to get White Claws when they came to Ontario.

Monster baptism baby

He knew Drunk Baby from high school, and they ended up on the same residence floor in first year. They still keep in touch and meet up for drinks once in a while between his demolition jobs.

Cool baby in bouncy house

On the family road trip, he breaks the 30 minute silence by remarking that they’re making good time. His step-children scoff. His wife in the passenger seat comments that it looks great out there, doesn’t it? [Translation: he’s trying, and you kids better respect that or so help me God.

Glitter girl in car

She EMBODIES hot girl summer in the best way possible. She has a successful YouTube career and is an active role model to young audiences. We stan.

“Have you ever had a dream” kid

He lives a normal life, but he pronounces “Etobicoke” the same way that guy did in the Netflix Luka Magnotta documentary.

Baby Yoda

This is him now. Feel old yet?

Ice Age Baby

He’s rolling up to Ice Age 9, he WILL look hot, and he WILL ignite a Twitter thirst storm

“I smell like beef” girl

She’s a vegan now.

Peanut butter baby

He’s a himbo now.

“Look at all those chickens” girl

She’s a Tiktoker, probably. That might not even be a joke. I’ve seen multiple people claim to be her. TikTok was a mistake but I can’t escape and this IS my cry for help.

Chloe

She just learned that fruit bouquets were a thing and wonders where it all went wrong. Probably 2012.
