About

Kinoplex Robert or just simply Robert, is Stock Photography meme originating on 4chan's /tv/ board. The original stock photo features an African-American man standing behind a movie theater concession stand, wearing a name-tag identifying him as "Robert". The meme is generally features a photoshopped variation of the stock photo accompanied by text mocking embarrassing or bizarre behaviors done in a movie theater, with Robert maintaining a friendly demeanor and often aiding the reader in overcoming their odd behaviors.

Origin

The earliest known use of the meme on 4chan's /tv/ board is in November 2015, with a post using the photo of Robert presenting the viewer with popcorn accompanied by text implying that the reader's mother would be buying the popcorn for them. [1]

I'm lonely. I've been lonely for a long time. That's why I kept sneaking in during no-singles nights And you always looked the other way. I appreciate that, you were a good friend. But as much as I love you as a friend, there are some holes no amount of crab legs can fill. That's why I had to finally admit defeat and ask out a girl with autism. She may not be all there but she likes me for me and for the first time in my life I like me for me too. Robert, my friend, my bro, my sole defender: I beg you Please let me be happy We can still hang out, I1l still shoot finger guns at you when I see you at the candy bar. Ill still tip you for pouring chocolate sauce on my popcorn. But I'm a worn man, I am tired of my solitude. Please don't tell on me.
