10 Funniest Moments of 2012

4. McKayla Maroney Is Not Impressed

McKayla Maroney came to Internet fame over the Summer, when she came to London to participate in the Olympics as a gymnast. However, after winning "only" a Silver in the vault finals, she took to the podium where she wore a bemused, clearly disappointed expression, jutting her lips out to the side of her face. Within hours of the picture being posted online, it became an Internet meme, and a blog entitled "McKayla is not impressed" soon enough began circulating photoshopped images of her in various impressive locations - such as The Great Wall of China - looking distinctly unimpressed. Things reached a bizarre apex when Maroney, along with the rest of the US Olympic gymnastics team, met Barack Obama at the White House, and she even convinced him to pull the disappointed facial expression alongside her. Brilliant.
