About

The Whale Passing a Blunt refers to a Photoshopped screencap from the movie The Whale showing the character Charlie, played by Brendan Fraser, passing a weed blunt to the meme's viewer as smoke emits into the air. The Photoshopped hand is the same hand from the ¿Quieres? meme. The original still from the film shows Charlie pointing at the camera during an emotional crying scene. The image was initially shared to Twitter in early 2023, spreading to memes across social media platforms.
