While some fans relate to the Pixar character, others find humor in her awkward behavior.
Sadness, a beloved character from Pixar’s “Inside Out,” has become a meme sensation online, as users poke fun at her awkwardness. With the release of “Inside Out 2” set for Friday, fans are excited to see how the character, known for her blue, melancholic personality, interacts with the film’s four new emotions — Anxiety, Envy, Ennui, and Embarrassment.
At the Los Angeles premiere, Sadness stayed true to her character by shyly twirling her fingers and waving with a pout, even as the lively Black Eyed Peas hit “I Gotta Feeling” played in the background. Her introverted and hesitant manner became instant meme material, with many social media users both mocking and empathizing with her demeanor.
While some online chose to gently poke fun, likening Sadness to their own awkward moments, others saw themselves in her struggle to fit in. For some, her awkwardness reflects the relatable discomfort of social situations, making her not just funny but endearing as well.
With “Inside Out 2” bringing a fresh mix of emotions into Riley’s mind, Sadness’ charm — a mix of earnestness and vulnerability — continues to resonate with fans who see a bit of themselves in her. This latest movie will likely only increase her popularity among viewers who appreciate both her comedic and relatable sides.
