- Chrissy Teigen recently posted a photo of her 2-year-old daughter holding an Arthur doll.
- She captioned the image, "Luna and daddy," referencing a longstanding meme that insists that her husband, John Legend, looks very similar to the cartoon character.
- She also wrote that the doll is hers from childhood and joked, "maybe I've been attracted to Arthur my whole life and now I found my real life human one."
- "Wow," Legend responded.
Chrissy Teigen is so good at the internet that even her most mundane thoughts and throwaway comments are headline-worthy.
if I had my choice, not a single story would ever be written about any tweets of mine. they make people (me) seem like...the most annoying people. the "clapback" wasn't "epic", it was just a fuccccccking tweet - just please stop with these stupid words

It stands to reason, then, that Teigen is extremely well-versed in Twitter humor and meme culture. And she recently demonstrated this prowess with a simple Instagram post.
The photo, which shows her 2-year-old daughter clutching an Arthur doll, is captioned: "Luna and daddy."
Those who are in on the joke will immediately recognize this as an expert troll. A longstanding meme insists that Luna's father and Teigen's husband, John Legend, looks exactly like the titular aardvark from the cartoon "Arthur." If you've seen it, you can't unsee it; in fact, Legend himself has acknowledged the resemblance.

But Teigen didn't stop there. She continued with a comment under the post, claiming that the doll is her own from childhood.
"My mom has kept it all this time," she wrote. "Maybe I've been attracted to Arthur my whole life and now I found my real life human one."
Legend, for his part, kept his reaction short and sweet: "Wow."
This is not the first time that Teigen has given the resemblance her stamp of approval. She doubled down on her meme references when she posted a photo of Arthur's curled first, commonly used to signal frustration, and wrote: "John when you tell him he looks like Arthur."

She also applauded a fake Arthur account on Twitter for being "shady" towards her husband.

We tend to agree with the Instagram account @commentsbycelebs — this is some of Teigen's best work yet.
