might sound like a dumb question but how do you locate some of these people i didn't even know this guy's name or when or where the photo was taken
@@robjackson4050 I watched a behind a scenes video of how Know Your Meme works. They have a big office with lots of people doing research and documenting memes all the time. It's intense stuff. Let me see if I can find the video.
@@susear5939 did you find it?
Yee
The camera man is the real hero for spotting that moment 😂
Watch cricket often, the commentators roast the crowd during games and it's hilarious
The emotions on his face are straight from the heart, no wonder he became popular.
Extremely relateable facial expression and pose 😒 we can all identify with that look at some point.
Sarim: does a free interview with social media
his wife: *disappointed Sarim meme*
Lmao
Know your meme: Sarim with sunglasses meme
🤣
UA-cam should definitely consider adding photos in comments😂😂
Lol 😂 that was funny 😄
He is honestly one of the luckiest living memes. Nothing about the meme is nasty, or demeaning, or out of context to the actual situation.
Not all memes are the nicest to their subjects, but disappointed guy is just an actually disappointed guy looking disappointed.
Man, he was viral before the match was even over
He's so laid-back about it but it sounds overwhelming!
I haven't seen the Window 3.1 icon for MS DOS in a long time. #memberberries
Believe me, zany personalities in the crowd of a cricket match is a big part of the fun in the television viewing experience. It's still wild to me that this particular one broke out into the non-cricket centred Internet 😂
I remember the match while using reddit as well, They had started using it as a meme on the cricket subreddit even before the match was over. The catch was crucial and his reaction was all of us
1000 likes boiii
“How could he drop a dolly catch like that” 😂😂
@N.imantha de silva You don't see me saying "love from the USA", do you? That's because nationalities are meaningless once weighed against the purity of one's heart.
"that too infront of him" how dare he can do that 🤣🤣
Dude it's Pakistan rest you know
@@AmanKumar-bp1zf yup, India wins all the big tournaments. The real champion team. So what they get knocked out in group stages and fail to qualify for semis or final. Don’t pay attention to 152-0 and 170-0. Next it’s going to be 200-0. Still india is a champion team.

India has the second most nunmber of ICC Trophies and the most ACC Trophies. So yaa, India is a champion team 😎
Always appreciate meme lords who can laugh and appreciate what they created.
sorry ruined your 69 likes
Sorry ruined your 600 likes
Sorry ruined your 680 likes
Uncle Phil!😂
@@db4419 I didn't notice till I saw your comment 😂
In another video he said that "I didn’t wanna say too much when Asif Ali (the player who dropped the catch) dropped the catch because I know he has serious issues with family going on"
(Asif Ali's 2 year old daughter was fighting bone cancer at the time & passed away 2 years later☹️)
Respect!
Oh dear 🥺
Oh. Didn't know that. I am very sorry to hear that.
🕊️
oh god! didnt know that! thats tough man
Man that's a horrid time😢
Thank you Sarim, it was a pleasure to interview you!
Why don’t you pin this comment
Thank you for making this video. Seeing him smile and laugh is very heartwarming and wholesome ❤
@@theodorequist4904 bcs he already pinned his other comment
Should've paid him something so that the wife would be happy too 😁
Nws
Oh my. Now I really want his picture on my credit card 😂
😂🤣😂😂
Saaamme 😂
Same
🤣🤣
Dude trying to quit touching himself:
"I want a tattoo in a sensitive place..."
I love how laid back he is about the whole thing, totally opposite to how the meme portrays him. Sweet guy
Laid back people can't be disappointed?
It makes it even funnier because it really shows he wasn’t pissed, he was so overcome with so much emotion…engrossed in the game he just couldn’t lmaoo
He seems like a pretty happy go lucky kind of guy.
@@vinyllpreviews9462😂
Yes very appointed guy
if pakistan had a better cricket team this incredible meme wouldve never existed
They have a better Cricket team but Not very great Fielders..
Sometimes they can drop simplest catch too!
You know they have won 2 world cups? One ODI world cup in 1992 and one T20 world cup in 2009.
@@omairtech6711 doesn't change the fact in pressure situations they like to drop simplest of the catches.That hampers the tone of the game.Theres a saying yk,catches win matches.
@@rt20089 Agreed.
lol
Something about him just makes me smile throughout the whole video. Lovely guy
Absolutely! He's just so wholesome and likeable. Now I want his picture on my credit card.
ye
He might be my favorite IRL meme person. Such a kind disposition.
😁💯🙌
He seems like a really kind soul. Like even if he tried to be angry or threaten you all you would do is smile.
Imagine being the player who fumbled the catch so hard this meme was made
Awwww the parents wanting to be updated about interviews and other media is wholesome 😀
ma man, you are everywhere I go on YT :dd
@@grendizergo4193 that mean you're also everywhere he goes.
@@susear5939 I like weird corners of yt
@@grendizergo4193 as do I. I go to all kinds of video. It's good cus I get to watch interesting content. Bad cus I get stuck on YT watching those videos.
@@susear5939 exactly
the unsung hero of this story is the cameraman, he knew that was the birth of a star
He has brought smiles to so many. What a lovely man to be so cool about it all.
k a r e n
He isn't disappointed anymore. Pakistani cricket team decimated it's arch-rival India yesterday and he's over the moon right now.
@@hafizsyednomanali6868 Bro 🤦♂️🤣
@@hafizsyednomanali6868 What's up how's your team doing now?
@@heisensama well we did got to finals
I love that many people who are the foundation of cultural memes, like Muhammad Sarim Akhtar, have such good humour about it. It is easy to be stereotyped or bullied for it but I have a ton of respect for the ones who can laugh at it and carry on with their lives. It is not an easy thing to do.
Do you know Mr. Macphisto?
it's always nice to see someone embrace the meme and laugh about it. This guy is awesome
I didn't even know he was watching cricket. I just know the feeling of that speechless disappointment. All you can do is stare.
the credit card bit was hilarious! what a nice guy--sarim!
You could tell by his chuckle he was tickled to the bone about it lol
That’s a great idea! 😄
Lol, yeah
Hahaha😂😂
My favorite part 🤣
You basically have become the embodiement of so many people's emotions for many different circumstances and incidents. So glad to hear you see it as positive! My best for you!
getting meme'd in real time, before the match has even ended... sometimes the internet unites us in to a wonderful, beautiful, and hilariously stupid place
this is nice yes..
That's the power of the internet 😃
His disappointed face is legendary. Srsly
😂
Even his voice and accent is the way I imagined it to be so, he was born for this, he is the true meme guy.
born for this!!? 😂😂😂😂
Your comment made my day 😂😂😂
Such a humble and genuine person. Hope he monetises his fame and finances his fav team. Love from India 🇮🇳
Love from pak
I'd have afternoon tea and biscuits with this guy any day.
What a terrific human! I'm happy he's had so much fun with the meme.
It’s always good to know when a meme didn’t ruin someone’s life.
The story behind one of my FAVOURITE "disappointed" meme's!!! Sarim is the BEST most normal looking disappointed looking expression ever! I'm so glad that he's good with it becoming so big. Seems like such a really humble, happy, normal, friendly guy in real life. Love his positivity and ability to laugh at his position!!!
This man said a dozen different swears inside when this happened.
Sarim looks like a cool guy. We need more people like Sarim in this world. What a awesome guy that can understand the value of a meme and that its mostly just joking around. Love you man
You are looking so friendly and lively in this video - I wouldn't recognize that "angry meme"-guy, for sure.
I don't even watch cricket but he was so funny!!! The way he turns away in disgust is so relatable, we've all been there!
The reason for viral this is the face looks give the emotion of every person when they disappoint or are angry about something, but you cannot do anything. This is why it touches everyone.
The whole story of the meme is so funny and the fact that the parents check on the interviews is so adorable.
The credit card thing is actually genius.
I remember watching this match on my laptop and the instant Wahab drop the catch my first thought was "same old Pakistani team". Then immediately the camera was focused on this guy and I bursted into laugh. Little did I know I was looking at a legendary moment in meme history.
Dang, he hadn't even fully sat down and was already a worldwide mood 🤣
I like the fact that Sarim embraced his meme status. It definitely is quite humorous learning more into the person and background to it
He kinda looks like Jeff Bezos
Oh, so all bald people look alike huh?
@@509Gman hmmm yes
jeff bezos: I just went to space!
everyone: well technically you did not.
jeff bezos: disappointed sarim face
He does look like a Pakastani Jeff Bezos. Now I can't unsee it. 😳
Ahahaha
I am glad he turned out to be such of friendly person. :)
A likeable fellow. Disappointed meme is actually a happy guy.
Haha the irony
He’s like Aubrey Plaza- holding back that smile. He looks upset, but if you said a joke he would break his serious face
This guy is so awesome for giving such a wholesome interview
The dude looks and sounds like an absolutely nice guy. Perhaps that's why he wears his emotions on his sleeve. All the best dear sir. 👍
this is one of my favorite memes, i use it all the time. recently as a reaction to an article "5 tips to make your audio sound closer" and the first tip was "put the mic closer to the source of the sound."
Before I even clicked on the video, I started laughing. This will never get old. One look, a million words😂😂
Seems like a genuine guy I dont like cricket but i would gladly pay to watch it with him
Lovely guy
I think this 5 min interview speaks about you alot...You are a great personality Sarim Sir...keep it up🙏
I legit thought he was part if one of those shows like The Office. The face, the zoom, it fits that humor
What a wonderful man. I was so happy to learn about him and how he felt about it. I had no idea. I thought he was a professional basketball coach, he looks the part! Thank you for contact him, it made my day
Hahaha loved this short interview, especially that credit card story 😂😂😂
All of us, Pakistani cricket fans can feel you man. It was a very natural reaction that probably every Pakistani cricket fan might have had at any point in their career of watching Pakistan Cricket 😆😆😂
Man, this channel deserves more.
Man this is no joke 😂 can't stop laughing to this meme, it's a masterpiece 😂😂
This dude seems awesome
I was smiling from ear to ear, don't know why but I loved the emotions played on your meme face. It was so memorable for us at that moment.
Huge respect for this guy
Love when memes embrace being an alive meme,he's really kind and sweet,love this guy
He seems like a sweet guy and so calm as compared to his meme portrait..
Pakistanis are cool and funny..
Funny pakis goes boom🤯 saying ola hu uber when entered india.
@@hindutvaumaga9064 omg, that hurts.
😂😂😂😂
This "cool" & "funny" people takes thousand of lives every year, peacefull
@@24GAMINGCHANNELwhat the hell are you on about kid?
The fact that it all starting happening live, there and then must've been so surreal for him. He also seems like a top guy too.
The universe came together to create this meme, neither did he want to go for the match, nor had he known his seat was right in the front.
Finally he revealed one secret that, "Know Your Meme" doesn't give any money for his interview 😊
Such an iconic meme. Glad he found success through it!
This man saved me a lot from ending the conversation. 😁😁
Holy shit! It's Pakistan's Jeff Bezoz!
I like this interview. He is so humble and genuine.
Love this guy, love the meme, what a great sport! You’re a champion Sarim, respect from Australia mate
The guy is really humble. Respect him Pakistani players.
He seems like such a nice guy😅
Mr. Akhtar, thank you so much. Your frustration in a moment of great disappointment has brought me so much joy and laughter. I see it several times a week over and over again and it never fails to make me laugh. Peace and love upon you always and thank you again.
That credit card story is hilarious 😂😂
LMAO, despite the meme's origins(seriously I would be pissed too if I was him that day, it was the equivalent of Mahomes fumbling an easy pass catch), he's such a cool laid-back guy.
He seems like a really nice guy. The look of utter disgust on his face in that meme is priceless.
Shootout to the cameraman who managed to pin point this very iconic reaction
You just made the whole world smile. God bless you Sir.
Sarim: *does youtube video explaining the origin of his meme*
his wife: *disappointed Sarim meme*
Him and Terry Crews on your credit card will save you a lot of money 😂
This interview was unexpectedly funny 😂😂😂
This is so cool, the meme is explaining it self
Such a lovely guy Really appreciable,how he took the meme on him👏🏻
Finally, we get to meet the greatest disappointment meme of all times. This is legendary and won't go away anytime soon. The interviewee is also such a jolly human.
And he's an accountant...
One of us
One of us
One of us
Its so cute at the end when he talks about his wife being annoyed he's giving free interviews instead of doing one of his household chores, but for some reason finding it hillarious 😂
Man this guy is so cool
His outlook to life is positive
What a lovely man. I love that his parents are so proud of him. That's the parenting that we need. Personal cheerleaders.
Props to the camera operator for spotting a meme material and panning to capture it.
It's so wholesome that his family holds this as a point of pride. As they should but that's pretty cool
Very nice guy 😀
Servus
desch n lieber
8i dass ich dich hier seh
"One of my friends from the past" dude broke the friendship over the match xD
He is actually a highly educated and accomplished person. His profile was viral on twitter recently.
I'm disappointed when find out he is just a cricket fan. He really looks like a coach of the cricket team,
He taught us to remain cool in all kinds of situations, his children and wife r lucky , the extreme level of maturity is superb. Lovely adorable guy. I wish he could be my real family uncle🥰🥰❤😇
I live near Taunton and had no idea this was essentially a local meme! That is extremely cool!!!! This is now one of my favourites just based on that alone.
This man is so wholesome! I love it!!
Oooh wow, Sarim Akhtar is his name. Been seeing him on Facebook as a meme. I love memes. I am always glad to see him appear everywhere whether a sad or happy meme 😂
It's a treat to hear the joy in his voice. Thank you for sharing this.
I respect his positive attitude of being a meme
