The Distracted Boyfriend meme that hit in 2017, continues to gain popularity. Thanks to the generic looking and object labelling style that allows people to project endless opinions and scenarios onto the three people in the meme. The increasing popularity of the meme made its models' easily recognisable stars to all of them who spends almost any amount of time online. But who would have ever imagined the models’ popularity will make them the face of a billboard campaign; ironically to promote families? Yes, the Hungarian government has launched a public campaign to encourage couples to have more children, and they choose the same pair who appears in the distracted boyfriend meme. Social media users are amused by choice of the couple to endorse family values. Charlie Chaplin Invented The Distracted Boyfriend Meme.
The popular meme is based on a stock photo of a man who is walking with his girlfriend while being distracted by another attractive woman. It was captured in Catalonia, Spain in mid-2015 by Spanish photographer, Antonio Guillem and it eventually became meme-makers' favourite.
