About

No One Has This Range or Wanna Talk About Range? refers to a copypasta in which people state that "no one" has a certain actor or actress's "range," meaning the ability to play widely different characters. After a tweet making such a case for actress Margot Robbie went viral, others began imitating the tweet, using more humorous subjects.

Origin

On February 15th, 2020, Twitter user @clarksleague^[1] tweeted four pictures of Margot Robbie from various films she starred in, saying, "i don’t know who needs to hear this, but no one has this range," gaining over 31,000 retweets and 220,000 likes (shown below).

Precursor

She Doesn't Have the Range is an ironic catchphrase used on Twitter to insult celebrity singers who are highly regarded for their vocal abilities, by criticizing their alleged limitations in vocal range, or the measure of the breadth of pitches that can be produced by a human voice. It can be seen as a satire of art and cultural criticism in the age of the social media, in a similar vein to the use of the expression "2/10 Would Not Bang.".

Spread

In the days following @clarksleague's tweet, Twitter users began using the format he introduced and added various other actors and actresses. Other examples include a tweet by @acklesbucky^[2] using Helena Bonham Carter, gaining over 25 retweets and 120 likes (shown below, left). User @aswedishplumber^[3] did it with actor Jon Heder (shown below, right).

Twitter users quickly used to the format for parodies. Some popular examples include a tweet by @marvellbellarke^[4] which used the format to talk about potatoes, gaining over 144,000 retweets and 531,000 likes (shown below, left). User @microgoogling^[5] posted the format talking about yeast, gaining over 600 retweets and 2,900 likes (shown below, right). The jokes were covered by Mashable.^[6]
