Vanderfeelings

Actor James Van Der Beek sits at a desk, typing on a laptop. He looks up at the camera, then begins to speak. Hi, I'm actor James Van Der Beek. If you're under the age of 20, odds are good you know me best from a five-second clip of me crying that's circulating the internet. Infamous gif appears. Yep, that's me on "Dawson's Creek" in a scene with Katie Holmes, where her character dumps mine. You know, the more I saw it in internet comment sections mocking the sadness of others, the more I realized what he internet was really demanding: More intense emotional close-ups of my face.

So, I started a website! You can find short clips of me emoting dozens of other feelings at jamesvandermemes.com. The original clip is still there, of course, BUT digitally restored and remastered.

But what if you're not sad? What if you just watched an adorable cat video and you're giddy to share it? Post my new "happy" clip in the comment window to show everyone just how elated you are. "Happy" gif appears. Sometimes you need a good eyeroll to go with the latest Lindsay Lohan story. "LiLo Eye roll" gif appears. Things getting uncomfortable on your friend's blog? No bette way to say, "Awwwkwaaard!" than with this clip. "Awkward" gif appears.

We've got dozens of intense emotional clips fitting for any internet post. There's "Mild Sadness," "Super Sad Sobbing," "10 Year Anniversary Crying Edition," "Sheer Panic," "Nostalgia," "Double Take," "Eager Beaver," "Dramatic Dawson," "The O-Face"—that's for you, ladies—and many, many more.

Long on to jamesvandermemes.com today, and show the world what kind of vanderfeeling YOU'RE having.
Happy, obviously. With a dash of eyebrow string dancer.
