ET Cinnamon Roll
About
ET Cinnamon Roll is a photoshop meme based on a photograph of a cinnamon roll that resembles the face of the titular character from the 1982 American science fiction fantasy film Extraterrestrial (E.T.). Upon surfacing on Reddit in mid-November 2016, the image quickly went viral and spawned dozens of photoshopped parodies.
Origin
The original image of the cinnamon roll was submitted by Redditor cheflp1221 in a /r/mildlyinteresting[1] post titled "This cinnamon roll looks like an anguished ET" (shown below). Within the first 48 hours, the post[2] garnered more than 6,500 points, as well as over a dozen of photoshopped parodies in the comments section.
Spread
Shortly after the image of the cinnamon roll began circulating online[3], Redditor KevinisMackin started a /r/photoshopbattles[4] thread with the image of the cinnamon roll, which soon led to nearly three dozens of photoshopped parodies in the comments section. Later that afternoon, Twitter user @scheffyy[5] tweeted the photo with the caption "why my cinnamon role look like ET bus a nut," accruing over 123,500 retweets and 320,100 likes.
