What is this?

The internet's favourite object-labeling template, brought to life. The 2017 Distracted Boyfriend meme — a guy with a wandering eye, his unimpressed partner, and the new thing he can't stop looking at — became the way to label any "tempted by the shiny new thing" situation. Here an original cartoon recreation of the scene runs as a screensaver, with the three labels swapping to fresh combinations every few seconds while hearts float and the glare intensifies.
👀 Original cartoon only. This is not the original stock photo and is not anyone's likeness — just an original recreation so the joke still lands. Press Esc to leave fullscreen.

▸ Frequently Asked Questions

FAQ — Distracted Boyfriend

What is the Distracted Boyfriend meme?

A 2017 meme based on a stock photo of a man glancing back at a passing woman while his partner looks on in disgust. It became the definitive object-labeling template, with text labels placed on each of the three people. This screensaver recreates the scene with original cartoon characters.

Is this the original stock photo?

No. The original is a copyrighted photograph. The three figures here are original cartoon characters drawn for this page — not the photo and not anyone's likeness — recreating the composition so the object-labeling joke still works.

What do the labels do?

As the template works, three labels sit on the boyfriend, the girlfriend and the other person, and they swap to new combinations every few seconds — me / sleep / one more episode, you / this screensaver / all the other screensavers, and so on.

How do I run it fullscreen?

Click the canvas or press Enter Fullscreen, or press F. Move the mouse to reveal the exit button, or press Escape to leave.

Is it free?

Yes, completely free. No account, no ads, no watermark. It's one of the free browser-based tools at jasperbernaers.com.
