Here Are the 13 Funniest Photoshopped Pictures of Gymnast McKayla Maroney Being ‘Not Impressed’

One of the feel-good stories of the Olympics has been the “Fab Five,” aka the U.S. women’s gymnastics team. And one of the stars of that team is vaulter McKayla Maroney. However, even though the young ladies won gold as a team, Maroney placed a disappointing second in the individual vault event. Why do we say “disappointing”? Well, because during the medal ceremony, Maroney was caught giving quite a face:

And now, that face has been turned into a viral internet meme called “McKayla Is Not Impressed,” which features the infamous pose Photoshopped into normally impressive events.

HuffPo gives a little more background:

The photo was so fabulous that 28-year-old New Yorker Gavin Aloen decided it would make a hilarious meme. On August 7th, the “McKayla Is Not Impressed” Tumblr was born — and we are so happy that it exists.

So in that spirit, we decided to post 13 of our favorite “McKayla Is Not Impressed” shots:

    I thought the pics would have been better if they had placed here behind some of of the photos like she is watching and not impressed, why is she standing in front in most?

    So…it would be wrong for a competitive person to be disappointed with a Silver when she knows she could have won a Gold if she’d done just a LITTLE better?

    Come on, give the kid a break.

    Let’s be fair; maybe her nose was itchy, and, being a lady, she knew she couldn’t scratch it in front of all those poeple.

      Really, I didn‘t know that you shouldn’t scratch you nose in public – I’m a guy what do I know!

      Agree, cut her some slack, our Women’s team did great. I’m hoping the US sends me to the next Olympics, I can climb on a Pummel Horse and fall off with the rest of the men’s team.

    Four out of five judges give the vault a 10, the Bulgarian judge givesa it a 2.3. Result Silver

    Reminisent of the worst days of the communist block olympic shafts. Reminds me of the 72 olympic basketball fiasco when 3 seconds MAGICALLY apeeared on the clock after time had expired and the US team won. CCCP stole the medal. Same here.

    This is a cheap shot. The young woman was robbed. Her vault was simply amazing, and from what I can see, she took it heroically, if stoically. She doesn’t deserve to have her nose rubbed in the ground by punks with nothing better to do and nothing to lose. Shame on Blaze.

    You could replace Maroney with a picture of Michelle Obama and get the same effect.

      AVENGERK! The only photo of Michelle Obama (MOB) you would need, is that of her standing in front of an American flag with the same “unimpressed look”.

      The kid however is a tremendous athelete, that maybe just got caught in a split second twitch that has put her in an unfair position.

      That aside, great imagination, hilarious pics!!! Bullies!

    Henceforth Ms. Maroney will be referred to by me, an admirer, as “Little McK”.
    I would petition those of you who CAN photoshop out there to take this one step farther and channel the whole Brit “Her Majesty” thing. Put Little McK‘s face into Queen Victoria’s Outline and the Caption “WE are NOT amused.”
    THEN stick it into everything Pharaoh BO, Team Incompetent, and the Dumbolcrap Commiequeers* in general have going. Especially all the DENIALS from Gibbs and others on TV vis a vis the BO Dung ILL and Team Incompetent gaffs.

    *my semantically accurate usage for the “terminological inexactitudes”
    “liberal” “left” “progressives”

    I‘m sure we’ll see her in Rio in 2016. From what I understand the vault is more about power and form, not being a dainty 15 year old sprite like the other events. So being 4 years older (and very, very hungry) should be great for her and the US Team.

    ROFL.
    Nontheless, Little Mac impresses ME. You GO girl!
    Hey somebody, let’s see Little Mac not being impressed with Pharaoh BO and the Czars?
    With Eric the Awful. With Team Flubama.With Joe Bitme.
    My 12 year old son, upon hearing the phrase used on TV “Obama’s Yearning Speech” heard, as 12 year old boys are wont to do, “urine.”
    Bo Dung ILL thus became “Urine Man” and Bitme “Compost Boy”. The most un-dynamic duo since Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy.
