<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nWe dare say there has probably been no furry internet celebrity more beloved than Grumpy Cat. The frowning feline, whose real name was Tardar Sauce, burst into the popular consciousness in 2012 when her owner posted pictures of her on Reddit. Tardar Sauce\u2019s delightfully dour expression (yes, it was a real, permanent anomaly) made her a star \u2013 so much so that she appeared on merchandise and in endorsements and comic books. Sadly, Grumpy Cat is no longer with us, but we\u2019re sure she continues to brighten the realm beyond the Rainbow Bridge with her eternally grouchy demeanor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But we\u2019d probably save ourselves a lot of time by looking to the Philosoraptor for the sage wisdom and answers to the metaphysical conundrums we spend countless hours pondering.

The character, played by actor James Van Der Beek in the American TV series \u201cDawson\u2019s Creek\u201d from 1998 to 2003, ugly-cried in the Season Three episode \u201cTrue Love\u201d after giving up his sweetie Joey Potter (Katie Holmes).

But although the series\u2019s unprovable, fanciful hypotheses have been widely dismissed as nonsense, it gave rise to a hilarious universe of memes featuring show producer and frequent talking-head Giorgio Tsoukalos and his unselfconscious, iconic hair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In every TV commercial and in every advertisement, he reminded us, \u201cI don\u2019t always drink beer, but when I do, I prefer Dos Equis.\u201d So, not only has the campaign reminded us that we\u2019re probably not interesting unless we drink Dos Equis, it also gives us the meme-ready philosophy that even though we don\u2019t always X, when we do, we X.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In every TV commercial and in every advertisement, he reminded us, \u201cI don\u2019t always drink beer, but when I do, I prefer Dos Equis.\u201d So, not only has the campaign reminded us that we\u2019re probably not interesting unless we drink Dos Equis, it also gives us the meme-ready philosophy that even though we don\u2019t always X, when we do, we X.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
