In the 2011 romantic comedy "Crazy, Stupid, Love.", Ryan Gosling portrays Jacob Palmer, a high-fashion womanizer who mentors the recently separated Cal Weaver, played by Steve Carell. The iconic meme clip captures Jacob casually enjoying a slice of pizza in a bar, a moment that highlights his character’s supreme confidence and effortless style during an otherwise mundane activity. This scene underscores the film's theme of Jacob’s transformation into a mentor figure who remains unflappable regardless of the romantic drama or chaos surrounding him. The clip transitioned into a viral sensation around 2021, becoming a staple of the "Ryan Gosling core" and the "Literally Me" subculture on TikTok and Instagram. It is primarily used to represent an "unbothered" or "sigma" mindset, where creators pair the footage with slow-reverb music to express a sense of cool detachment or personal victory. Notable variations often include captions about thriving in silence or being the protagonist of one's own life, turning Gosling’s casual snack into a visual manifesto for modern internet stoicism.
