The internet was abuzz last night as Olympic swimmers took to the water in the quest for Gold in the Men’s 200m Butterfly swim.
Twitter users had fun at first when shots showed Phelps texting on his phone

Then as Phelps was getting in the zone former 200m champion and certified douche, Chad Guy Bertrand Le Clos, began borderline harassing Phelps as they awaited to take to the pool.
This stunt now has Le Clos on the short list as one of the worst things to come out of South Africa since I decided to watch that garbage movie Chappie.
What really got people talking, besides the fact that this whole fiasco was one thrown folding chair away from a full on WWE style brawl, was Michael Phelps stone cold stare as he awaited his chance to demolish Le Clos in the pool. This moment in time gave birth to the hottest new meme since Arthur took the web by storm.
Here are the best “Angry Phelps” tweets from last night:

Phelps must have thrown a pick six before swimming.

All the feels. Nothing worse than craving Chick-Fil-A on a Sunday.

Get that man an ice pick, avocado, and a snorkel… He’s made bongs with less.
Best of luck to Michael Phelps in his quest for gold. Hopefully he’ll give us a “Happy Phelps” meme when he kicks Le Clos’ ass in the finals..
