About

"You Guys Are Getting Paid?" is a line spoken by Will Poulter's character Kenny Rossmore in the 2013 American comedy film We're the Millers. Starting around early 2019, the scene became an image macro and object-labeling meme format used to display surprise at another's previously unknown monetary income.

Origin

On August 3rd, 2013, We're the Millers premiered in theaters in the United States. In one particular scene (shown below), members of the titular "family" (or rather, drug smugglers posing as one) accuse protagonist David Clark (played by Jason Sudeikis) of splitting the reward money unevenly among the "family," to which Kenny (played by Will Poulter) responds with "You guys are getting paid?", comedically unaware that the other members were receiving payment.^[2]
