A scene from a movie from the 1920s is similar to the ‘Distracted Boyfriend’ meme — and people can’t handle it

Remember the viral “Distracted Boyfriend” meme?
Apparently, it resembles a scene from a 1922 Charlie Chaplin short film, as copywriter Peter Goldberg pointed out on Twitter.
The scene, which is from “Pay Day,” is essentially an inverted version of the meme.
In “Pay Day,” Chaplin plays a construction worker who just got paid. His wife wants to spend his earnings, but he wants to use the cash to go out and get drunk.
People are losing it.

About a year ago, the “Distracted Boyfriend” meme captivated the internet in a nearly universal way that few jokes are capable of doing.See the rest of the story at Business Insider
