I love how you can see the wig powder on his shoulders in all of them. Probably a much more realistic depiction than carefully edited royal portraits of the same time period.

How is only one of these a meme?
Both of the middle ones are memes, though the top one is far more popular
Around the time the pointing one was big i saw the yawn one a LOT, and the others here occasionally
Dang, I must have fallen behind. I didn't recognize any of the others. All fantastic.
Place your digits within the aether if'n thoust verily gamesman.
Damn kids, always doing selfies and wow-face thumbnails!
Seems like a cool dude.
I hope he wasn't a dick and had a good life.
He seems like he was having a hell of a time.
Of course he must have been a dick, and probably had a good life. I’m just surprised he didn’t invent duck face. Seems right up his alley
Unfortunately he was a dick
How?
no, he was just French.
Whoops, tautology!
If you’re in LA you can see the bottom middle painting for free at the Getty museum!
I have the bottom left one on rotation on my digital picture frame. I need to find a hi res copy of the middle top one for this purpose as well. How do you say 'waz up?!' in French?
French here.
The older version (kinda out of fashion) is "Quoi de neuf?" literally "What's new?".
Today we would say "Ça dit quoi ?" which is literally "What you saying?" I guess. But as you may have guessed it's kinda of a street/not so polite way of phrasing it.
I personally use "Ça va ?" at work which is "Are you OK today?" literally, not to be confused with "Are you OK?!" which is the English way of checking that someone is not hurt I guess, though it can be used in the same way "Ça va ?!" to check on someone hurt is fine.
Finally it would be "Comment allez-vous ?" for the polite equivalent, like for a stranger or an official.
Ça va ?
Ça va. Ça va ?
Ça va.
A full French conversation.
Heres a German one:
Gut?
Gut. Gut?
Gut.
Here's the Portuguese version:
Tá tudo? Tá tudo. Tá tudo? Tá tudo.
Brazilian version:
Bem?
Bem. Bem?
Bem
For my American brethren:
Hmm?
Hm mm.
Hmm?
Mm hmm.
I think perhaps Caaa Vaaaa!? Might be the best waaaazup equivalent.
I wonder what it was like every time he unveiled one of these
A little from Column A...
...a little from column B...

I DO BELIEVE IT IS TIME TO PAUSE

Strong rizz in that second one
