A meme that has taken the internet by storm humorously captures the unflappable coolness of a Turkish athlete at the Olympics, using none other than the iconic Bugs Bunny from the L***** Tunes cartoons. The two-panel image showcases Bugs Bunny in a Western-style outfit, complete with a wide-brimmed, dark blue hat and a red shirt, embodying the relaxed yet confident energy of the athlete.

In the first panel, Bugs Bunny leans casually against a bar or counter with one hand in his pocket and the other resting on the counter, exuding a laid-back demeanor. The second panel maintains this relaxed pose but adds a twist—Bugs is now holding and firing a pistol with his left hand, with smoke billowing from the gun, indicating it has just been fired. The text above the image reads:

"No one:

That Turkish guy at the Olympics:"

This clever setup humorously alludes to the calm and composed attitude of the Turkish athlete, even in the high-pressure environment of the Olympics. The meme has garnered a plethora of reactions, with one user commenting, "This whole meme is laughable and I am 100% here for it."

Another user provided some context about the athlete, stating, "I read that the dude started doing the competitive shooting thing because his ex-wife said he’d never make it. Bro was half awake and proved her wrong." This comment highlights the athlete's remarkable journey and adds a layer of inspiration to the meme.

The meme has sparked discussions about the athlete's skill and demeanor, with one user noting, "When you're really freakin' good at something, you make it look like you're not even trying while you're getting an Olympic silver medal." Another user pointed out the difficulty of maintaining composure in such high-stress competitions, saying, "In this kind of competition it’s really hard to avoid getting stressed out as the end approaches and you get ever closer to winning, especially in something like shooting where you have a lot of time to think. Being half asleep or distracted might be a benefit."

Despite the mixed feelings about the "No one:" meme format, the consensus is that it effectively captures the essence of the athlete's performance. One comment reads, "Regardless of the memes flying around about the Turkish athlete, he was awesome! Chill and a crack shot! I witnessed history watching him participate."

This meme not only entertains but also serves as a tribute to the Turkish athlete's exceptional skills and calm demeanor, making it a perfect example of how humor and admiration can go hand in hand on social media.

When you're really freakin' good at something, you make it look like you're not even trying while you're getting an Olympic silver medal.

I do not understand the "No one" thing here. Am I old and stupid? Or are stupid ppl who overuse it even in context where it does not make any sense?

Midgarmerc

Can we just stop doing the stupid "No one" memes? It adds nothing.

In this kind of competition it!s really hard to avoid getting stressed out as the end approaches and you get ever closer to winning, especially in something like shooting where you have a lot of time to think. Being half asleep or distracted might be a benefit.

While he may have that vibe, he has been competing in the Olympics since 2008 and shooting air pistol much longer. https://apnews.com/article/olympics-2024-yusuf-dikec-turkish-shooter-a7890124304080a48e7ee4294004d306
