It’s easy to see that Brunson’s life has shifted dramatically since she began writing She Memes Well. She parlayed her comedy chops into a 9-to-5 job as video talent at Buzzfeed, where she amassed legions of loyal fans with her sharp-witted sketches until 2018, when she moved onto the big leagues: Hollywood gigs, like HBO’s A Black Lady Sketch Show, and now her own ABC sitcom, Abbott Elementary. “You got money! He got money!” Since then, Brunson’s been no stranger to the highs of internet fame. There’s barely enough time to recover since the writer and actress is busy prepping for the release of her first book, a collection of essays titled She Memes Well, about, well, her love affair with memes.īrunson first entered the Meme Hall of Fame with the viral success of her Instagram video series, “The Girl Who Has Never Been On A Nice Date.” The titular girl on a date is in awe of her date, who freely splurges on fairly budget items, like a large popcorn at the movie theatre. Quinta Brunson has a packed day ahead of her, which kind of sucks considering that she’s nursing a hangover after having a little too much fun at a Memorial Day party.
