"Money Can't Buy You Class" is a cultural artifact born from the third season of "The Real Housewives of New York City" in 2010. The scene features the inimitable Luann de Lesseps, known then as The Countess, recording and performing her debut dance-pop single of the same name. With her signature alto delivery and unwavering confidence, Luann delivers the line as a lifestyle manifesto intended to school her fellow castmates on etiquette and poise. The juxtaposition of the song's autotuned campiness with Luann's dead-serious demeanor turned the track into an instant reality TV classic. In the meme world, this clip is the ultimate weapon for highlighting hypocrisy, lack of taste, or hilariously bad behavior from people who should know better. It is frequently used to represent feelings of superiority, delusional confidence, or the stark realization that wealth does not equate to sophistication. Whether someone is being rude at a five-star restaurant or a celebrity is making a questionable fashion choice, Luann’s rhythmic warning provides the perfect soundtrack. Example captions include: 'Me watching a billionaire use the wrong fork,' 'When the flight is first class but the passengers are economy,' and 'Me after buying a $7 latte and suddenly becoming a socialite.'
