Rick Flagg of 'Suicide Squad' Will Be the Meme of This Summer 

One character trumped even the Joker in the 'Suicide Squad' trailer.

Suicide Squad’s latest trailer has confirmed our theory that Rick Flagg will be driving the engine of the film’s plot. He’s in the driver’s seat of the trailer, steering the clip with his narration.

Even in just two minutes of his commentary, one thing stands out: Rick Flagg is over this shit.

He’s not impressed with Deadshot’s file.

That is not the face of a man who is having any of it 

He’s not amused by the group’s posturing.

He’s unfazed by the strategically placed fires littering the empty cityscape.

And he’s over Harley Quinn’s lunacy and baseball bat shenanigans.

"What the hell is wrong with you people?"

Suicide Squad leader Rick Flagg is not having any of it. His unimpressed faces are memes just waiting to happen. Like many memes that came before it (Condescending Willy Wonka; Sean Bean explaining that One Does Not Simply), the beauty of Rick Flagg being Over This Shit is applicable to any situation.

A fellow internet denizen says something stupid? Rick Flagg is Over This Shit. The exceedingly stupid Oscar darling The Revenant inevitably sweeps all the golden statues? Rick Flagg is Over This Shit. Thirty-three million Americans are in awe of a weather event that happens annually? I think you know what Rick Flagg has to say about that.

In the months leading up to Suicide Squad’s August release, we predict that the internet will make it happen and this will be the biggest thing since Left Shark. And if it does happen, you know who will be really impressed? Not Rick Flagg.
