Messirve y otros memes facheros con gafas de sol

Messirve and other front memes with sunglasses

World Cup fans will remember that header goal by Gabriel Heinze, in the Argentina vs. Nigeria game of the 2010 World Cup. At that time, although it was not Messi who scored against the Nigerian team, he did set up the play. From this time we inherited the "Messirve".

It was in a famous interview with the reporters of CQC (Caiga quien caiga, 2010), in which the interviewer gave Leo Messi a pair of sunglasses that he put on immediately and that suited him very well. It would be in 2020 that they would use the video to make the meme Messirve, which has gone around the world and has generated sequels such as "No Messirve; Messirve mucho", etc.

And yes, let's talk about glasses in front memes, like the one in which Messi overflows handsomeness. Because we have to accept that branded sunglasses, besides making us look and feel good , can also influence our sense of humor. Read on to have fun and get to know the memes with sunglasses that are trending.

How do you turn an image into a meme with sunglasses?

A pair of sunglasses in the right image can turn it into a sensation. Any celebrity or fictional character can come to the forefront of social media as a meme with sunglasses. However, what must happen with these images for them to go viral is that they contemplate certain elements such as:

  • That the person wearing the sunglasses is a celebrity or a well-known person among those among whom the meme is shared.
  • The text accompanying the image must be funny, sarcastic or ironic.
  • The relationship and context between image and text must have logic, not necessarily the conventional logic, but the logic of humor in memes.
  • The type of glasses complements everything.

If an image includes the above characteristics, it is likely to go viral and start being used as a meme.

Glasses from the Messirve meme with Leo Messi.

In the Messirve meme the soccer star's sunglasses are a sporty model reminiscent of the movie "Men in Black" (Men in Black, 1997), and the dark glasses worn by Will Smith (Agent J). This frame model was in trend in the 2000s.

Memes with sunglasses and iconic phrases

As we mentioned before, memes often carry iconic phrases that complete their meaning. Here are a couple of memes that bring together sunglasses and iconic phrases on the internet.

The meme Turn down for what?

Many of us have seen the phrase Turn Down for What ("Sobrio para qué?" in Spanish) in images with pixelated sunglasses added over the gaze of characters saying something off-color or without any kind of filter.

The phrase started to become famous for a trap song by artists DJ Snake and Lil Jon released in 2013. The video, which went viral, popularized the use of that phrase in different memes.

Pixel sunglasses are put on figures that are being ironic. They are also used to signal that a character:

  1. Is sassy.
  2. He's front and funny.
  3. He's overdone and maybe it's better if you can't see his eyes.
