Oppenheimer finally released this weekend as part of Hollywood's unintentional but incredible double feature, and while many filmgoers enjoyed the seemingly endless parade of guys (meaning the film featured small appearances from lots of beloved character actors), one "guy," Josh Peck, was distracting enough for audiences to walk out of the theater and immediately get on social media to talk about it.

For the record, audiences weren't distracted by the quality of Peck's acting (which some have said is pretty good), but because he appears to recreate a meme from one of his old roles — that of Josh from Nickelodeon's show Drake and Josh. Specifically, if you know Drake and Josh, you'll understand what we mean when we say he makes his "Megan" face.

Side-by-side, the two shots really only share the similarity of Josh Peck squinting, but perhaps its a testament to the legacy of his time on Drake and Josh that social media was flooded with Drake and Josh / Oppenheimer crossover memes in the wake of the film.

For his part, Peck seems aware of how odd it is that he's in the film, telling the Chicks in the Office podcast that he felt out of place as the "Drake and Josh guy" among such Hollywood heavyweights.

Peck plays Kenneth Bainbridge, a researcher who tests the first nuclear bomb, which may be only a slightly worse crime than running over Oprah.
