Memes Are Art, According To Shia LaBeouf

Well, it's pretty much safe to say that the Season 10 premiere of Hot Ones is the best episode ever recorded. Host Sean Evans sat down with the extremely enigmatic Shia LaBeouf as he ate the wings of death, and answered the world's most important questions while promoting his upcoming films Peanut Butter Falcon and the semi-autographical Honey Boy. What we were fortunate enough to learn is that LaBeouf loves shirts with great shapes, that he gave Kanye West his Indiana Jones hat, and that spicy wings make him cry.

 

 

However, the best part of the interview occurs around the five-minute mark when Evans asks the actor about his 2015 Just Do It video. LaBeouf states that the video was shot for an MFA exhibition show, and was essentially made to create memes. When asked what his favorite Shia LaBeouf meme is, the actor answers that he loves the one of him clapping because to him it's "pleasant and joyful." He also adds that he believes memes are in fact art because "anything that moves you is art." Well if that's the case, Shia LaBeouf himself is art, and like him, we too are happy his episode followed the "fucking Jonas Brothers."

In honor of Shia, we are including some of our favorite memes of him below.
