About
Feel Old Yet? refers to a series of two-paneled parody images. The first half of the image is generally a well-known celebrity or character, while the second half is typically either a person who is similar in appearance but otherwise unrelated, or a name pun.
Origin
The meme was originally inspired by the popular media phenomenon where before and after pictures of a celebrity are presented, labelled with the phrase “feel old yet?”, with the goal of reminding the viewer of the passage of time. Examples of such pictures can be found in articles such as Buzzfeed’s 48 Things That Will Make You Feel Old,[1] and Smosh’s 5 Former Nickelodeon Guys Who Got “Hot”.[2]
Spread
On October 29th, 2014, Smosh published an article documenting the sudden proliferation of the meme, documenting a few of the most popular examples.[3] On October 30th, NoWayGirl released a compilation.[4]
