Allison Williams Reveals How She Really Feels About That Infamous Girls Meme
Allison Williams has revealed there's one Girls meme she is an especially big fan of.
The Get Out star is currently on the promo trail for her new film M3GAN 2.0, and recently spoke to Entertainment Tonight about one of her Girls scenes that's become a meme in recent years.
In the scene in question, taken from the show's third season, Allison's character Marnie finds that one of her music videos has gone viral on YouTube, and utters the line: 'Like oh, let's make fun of the girl who took a risk and put herself out there creatively.'
Marnie's one-liner is now a widely-used reaction meme, as the below posts on X highlight:

Speaking to ET, Allison made it clear that she has more of a sense of humour than her Girls alter-ego.
'I'm so proud, honestly,' she enthused, when asked about how she felt about the meme. She then named a post from the US streaming service HBO Max about another of their rebrands as her favourite usage of the quote.
'When I saw it applied to the Max name change – HBO Max – it made me so happy,' she quipped.

Allison appeared in all six seasons of Girls alongside co-stars Jemima Kirke, Zosia Mamet and, of course, Lena Dunham, who was also its creator.
Earlier this year, Lena made headlines when she shared her surprising take on whether Girls could make a comeback in the future.
'We always said when the show ended that if we were going to go back, it would have to be at such a different phase in their lives,' Lena told The Ankler.
Rather than revisiting the characters when they're 'at Sex And The City age', Lena suggested: 'Let's check in when they're 60 [and have] taken even another leap.'
The eight-time Emmy nominee is currently gearing up for the release of her new Netflix comedy Too Much, which she created and co-wrote, and which stars Hacks star Megan Stalter and The White Lotus' Will Sharpe as its leads.

'Many assumed that Bill had cheated on Linda through 2022 and 2023, but they were broken up by September 2022," the insider says. "Linda was still pretending they were together after the breakup, and Bill played along so she could transition with the least amount of public humiliation and avoid abrupt displacement.' 'Bill moved into a hotel nearby Gillette Stadium in September and allowed Linda to continue to stay in his homes," the source adds. The source close to the former couple also says Holliday's social media activity "changed drastically" after she and Belichick split. A separate source confirmed to PEOPLE in September 2023 that the couple had split, noting that Belichick, 73, and Holliday, 62, had "been pretty separate for a while" by the time their breakup was announced. The couple had been dealing with relationship issues that were "not new" when they separated, the insider revealed. 'Bill is all about football and very busy now. He doesn't want a lot of public attention on this," the source told PEOPLE at the time. Currently, Belichick is dating Jordon Hudson, a former Bridgewater State University cheerleader who has been acting as his publicist through her company Trouble Cub Enterprises. Hudson, 24, was first spotted with Belichick in January 2023 when they were seen walking through the French Quarter in New Orleans, and in September of the same year, they were again spotted in the city on a dinner date. Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from juicy celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. The couple met when they were seated next to each other on a flight in 2021, and Belichick signed Hudson's textbook, Deductive Logic. As Belichick embarks on his first year as the UNC Tar Heels' head coach, he has made time for Hudson, traveling to Maine to support her bid for Miss Maine USA and enjoying picturesque dinners. In a May 21 post on Instagram, Hudson joked, 'Old Bay with my old bae,' in a caption over a photo of the two having a sunset dinner together by the water, alongside a tin of Old Bay seasoning.

Angel Reese Makes Six-Figure Reveal After Going Viral
Angel Reese Makes Six-Figure Reveal After Going Viral originally appeared on Athlon Sports. It's no secret that just 49 games into her WNBA career, Chicago Sky forward Angel Reese is already one of the best rebounders in the league. Advertisement On the year, Reese is currently averaging more rebounds per game (12.3) than she is averaging for points (11.7). While her rebounding makes her a critical piece of the Sky's future and is a major strength of her game, her offensive limitations have been weaponized against her on social media. Reese has been spotted multiple times putting in extra work, finishing around the rim, and has also made an effort to extend her range. She has already made more threes (4) through 15 games this season than she did all of last season (3). However, even with this in mind, fans have been relentless in poking fun at the fact that they feel many of her rebounds stem from her misses. The joke became so common that Bhen of the "Club 520 Podcast," which features former NBA player Jeff Teague, invented the phrase "Mebounds" to mock her. While Reese could have easily ignored the scrutiny, she turned the phrase into something that benefits others. She trademarked the phrase and has begun selling merch, with an undisclosed amount of the revenue going to cyberbullying prevention. Advertisement She also revealed to the Chicago Sun-Times that the reception to the merchandise has been quite lucrative. Chicago Sky forward Angel Reese (5).Dale Zanine-Imagn Images 'You would have never thought I made six figures in, literally, a day off of that,' Reese told the Chicago Sun-Times. 'And y'all can continue to troll me, but I turned this into a positive.' That's certainly one way to get back at those who are more interested in mocking her. As for what's next for her and the Sky, they will be looking to get back in the win column on Sunday against the Los Angeles Sparks after dropping Friday's game against the Golden State Valkyries.
