Last night's Grammy Awards brought out all the stars and dazzled viewers with incredible performances by Sam Smith and Kim Petras, Harry Styles, Lizzo, Stevie Wonder, Smokey Robinson and so many more.
What the internet took away from the magical night, however, was Ben Affleck's less-than-enthusiastic demeanor that was captured every time the cameras panned to him.
Affleck accompanied his wife Jennifer Lopez, who presented the award for Best Pop Vocal Album to Harry Styles, but it definitely appeared that he wanted to be anywhere else.
\u201chowever bad of a day you\u2019re having, I promise you\u2019re not as miserable as Ben Affleck at the Grammys right now\u201d— Spencer Althouse (@Spencer Althouse) 1675648725
But alas, his misery is the internet's gold, and it turns out that Affleck's bored expression is the meme we didn't know we needed...until now.
Viewers of the "Let's Get Loud" singer's miserable date had their fun, and now you can, too.
