Who are Keke Palmer and Dick Cheney?

The very question that launched the meme heard ’round the world: Keke Palmer, actress, singer, and all-around hilarious human being, was asked during a Vanity Fair interview if her Nickelodeon character True Jackson was a better VP than Dick Cheney (Cheney, as we know, served as Vice President under the Bush administration). After staring at a photo of Cheney for a few moments, Palmer confessed that she has no idea who he is. “I hate to say it, I hope I don’t sound ridiculous. I don’t know who this man is,” she admits in the viral video. “He could be walking down the street and I wouldn’t know a thing. Sorry to this man.”
You Should Wear This Costume If…
You are truly sorry to this man. And, if you need a couples costume.
How to get it:
It’s pretty easy to recreate this iconic meme moment. For Keke’s press junket outfit, all you need is a simple tan blazer, black hoop earrings, and a slicked back ponytail. Spot-on comic timing doesn’t hurt, either. Your partner can take on Dick Cheney with a specialized rubber mask.
