Jim Carrey's Message to Emma Stone stems from a viral video posted on Carrey’s personal website in 2011. In the video, a deadpan Jim Carrey confesses his deep, somewhat unsettling love for the young actress, discussing the freckle-faced kids they could have had if he were much younger. While intended as a piece of performance art or satirical humor, the video became a legendary piece of internet awkwardness due to Carrey's intense staring and sincerity. Today, the template is used to represent uncomfortable confessions, intense longing, or moments where someone is being 'too honest' in a way that makes everyone else cringe.
