Universal PicturesThe true test of the longevity of a motion picture is not the writing. Nor is it the acting or the directing.
It's a little something we like to call GIF-ability. If you can use GIFs from the film for pretty much any life situation, you got yourself a movie that will pretty much never, ever go out of style. For example: Bridesmaids. That flick will never not be applicable for us.
Another movie that is very high on the GIF-ability scale is Pitch Perfect, and since Pitch Perfect 2 comes out in just one week (yay!), we thought we'd offer up a list of just some of the GIFs you could use for your everyday scenarios.
No need to thank us. Thank the GIFs:
1. When you saw Chris Hemsworth in the Vacation trailer:
2. When you finish your PowerPoint presentation during a meeting:
3. Whenever any Beyoncé song comes on:
4. What your friend says to you when you tell them you can't have more than two drinks with dinner:
5. Whenever you manage to make it through the night without drunk texting your ex "I tot2alley luv you 4evaaa":
6. What you want to write back to those gym membership emails that say "Come back, we've missed you!":
7. When your significant other suggests you go out for once instead of staying in with the cats again:
8. When you saw Louis Tomlinson and Zayn Malik fighting on Twitter and it was tearing One Direction fans apart:
9. What you say to your friend when she opens up Tinder on her phone:
10. Trying to act normal even though your favorite TV character got killed off the night before
11. Whenever someone tweets that something is "on fleek"
12. Whenever you watch a video of Iggy Azalea's nonsensical raps:
13. When your parents tell you they think it's weird you say you're in a "serious relationship" with Netflix:
14. When your friend asks if you want to take a new Cardio Barre class with her:
15. When the Chipotle employee doesn't charge you extra for guacamole:
16. When you hear someone talking about your favorite fictional couple:
17. When someone says Pitch Perfect is a stupid "chick" movie
Prepare to get pitch-slapped...again! Pitch Perfect 2 hits theaters May 18.
