ONE OF THE most memorable moments of the 2016 Rio Olympics occurred prior to the 200-metre butterfly when Michael Phelps was shown with a menacing and somewhat disgusted look on his face while his chief rival, Chad Le Clos of South Africa, was shadow-boxing-dancing-something in the foreground.
Many assumed Phelps was annoyed by Le Clos and whatever he was doing. But no matter the reason, in those few seconds, a meme was born: #PhelpsFace.
Intel recreated that moment in a new commercial starring Phelps and Jim Parsons.

That’s when Parsons asks Phelps what Fake Le Clos is doing.
