About

We Look So Much Like a Couple Here or A Couple of Bestiesss is a series of memes, including redraws, based on a viral Facebook post where one user posted a photograph of themselves posing with a friend of the opposite sex, the male friend commenting, "We look so much like a couple here" and the female friend replying, "a couple of bestiesss," suggesting the man has been friendzoned. The meme was originally posted online as early as 2016 and became the subject of memes over the following years.
