The 'Maroney and Obama Not Impressed' meme stems from a photograph taken in the Oval Office in November 2012. Olympic gymnast McKayla Maroney, who became a viral sensation for her 'not impressed' expression after winning silver in London, visited President Barack Obama. During the visit, the two famously posed together mimicking her signature look. The image quickly went viral as a symbol of shared skepticism and high standards, blending sports culture with political humor. It remains one of the most beloved examples of a celebrity embracing their own viral meme status.
