Best Of: Pictures of People Before and After Calling Them Beautiful Memes

In May 2015 photographer Shea Glover uploaded a video titled ""People react to being called beautiful" to Youtube. The video, which is exactly what it claims to be, has impressively gained over million views in two years. It wasn't until January 2016, when an image macro featuring screenshots of people and their reactions to the compliment, that people started meme-ifying the image. The meme has been going strong since its first exploitation (featuring Thom Yorke of Radiohead) - covering subjects from Pepe the Frog to Star Wars. These are our favorites.
