Do we have room for Jack Black in here? Drmies ( talk) 17:51, 11 March 2019 (UTC) reply

It could probably be mentioned in the "Variations and spin-offs" section. ^Falling _Gravity 07:56, 14 March 2019 (UTC) reply

Shouldn't this be called "Distracted-boyfriend meme", because it's the boyfriend who's distracted, not the meme? Remember that a "used-car buyer" is someone who buys a used car, whereas a "used car buyer" is a car buyer who feels used. Incremental Improvements ( talk) 22:59, 13 March 2019 (UTC) reply

Do you have any sources which use a hyphen? ^Falling _Gravity 07:55, 14 March 2019 (UTC) reply

I'm considering moving the page from it's current title to either "Distracted boyfriend (meme)" or "Distracted boyfriend (internet meme)". Thoughts? Objections? Americanfreedom ( talk) 05:54, 1 December 2019 (UTC) reply

It doesn't need "meme" as a disambiguating term. And to the above discussion, sources do not hyphenate it. (not watching, please {{ ping}}) czar 20:57, 21 June 2021 (UTC) reply

presumably, the meme repeats the work of the Kyrgyzstan artist Аманкожоев К. Кубанычбек /Amankozhoev K. (? Kubanychbek)/ (1934-1987) [1] https://drive.google.com/file/d/1fGO-A-eMDGKflocPX9jv-MM8C04mbsV_/view?usp=sharing
