Blinking white guy from 'Blinking White Guy' meme speaks out on 'GMA'
The "Blinking White Guy" GIF was one of the most popular (and saltiest) memes out there in 2017. And now, the blinking white guy himself has emerged for an interview on Good Morning America.
Okay, maybe "emerged" is a strong word. Scanlon, a video producer and podcaster for the video game website Giant Bomb, has been around the internet for a while. But this year -- a year during which people were constantly incredulous -- that blinking GIF caught fire even outside the gaming community.
"We don't really have a way of communicating body language over the internet ... memes are kind of that," Scanlon says in the interview. He also supplies a few of his now-trademark blinks -- which are pretty different from the original, to be honest.
Not to call him a one-blink wonder or anything.
