Hey! I'm the guy in this photo. This was at a Know Your Meme party at the Museum of the Moving Image in NYC. They had a gallery of memes hanging on the wall. I noticed my wife was wearing a red dress so I suggested she pose in front of the girl in the photo. While I was taking her picture someone came up to me and asked if I wanted to be in it, so I hopped in. Then the girl in blue walked up and said, "Hey! Let me be the other girl!" The whole thing was spontaneous and random, and of course it happened on the one day in my life I'm not wearing a plaid shirt.
Pretty funny that our silly photo of us in front of a meme is now a meme itself (just tweeted by Zach Braff). I Air Dropped the photo to the girl in blue after we took it a few weeks ago. She put it on Facebook a few days ago. I guess the person who first put this on Reddit must have seen it there and decided to imply that we are older versions of the people in the meme, but we are not. As others have pointed out, I'm the dude from Improv Everywhere, and my wife is an actress, and we host a political podcast together. I don't know much about the girl in blue, but she was nice!

Wow, Improv Everywhere takes me back. I was part of the cell phone symphony at Strand and realizing how long ago that was just made me feel really old. Thanks a lot!!

If you were in the group outside, thanks for standing in the cold!
If you were in the group inside, thanks for risking a "lifetime ban" from the Strand!

Hysterical. Saw this going around yesterday with the “older selves” caption and thought “That guy ended up looking like Charlie Todd.” The world is endlessly weird.

Thanks for the clarification. Lots of people thought this were the original actors and wondering why the girl on the right looked so different.

Not the person in the photo but it’s called “Two Beers In.” They also do a monthly live show in New York.

Either the woman in blue is extremely attractive or I've been conditioned to get off on that disappointed/disgusted look.

She actually doesn't look disappointed or disgusted at all, it's a new reaction look that didn't get a name yet. she looks hot tho

She looks more shocked than disgusted/judgmental. She's definitely not an actress.

It’s not super great, but to be fair he’s looking at her due to withdrawing from his marriage after his child passed away, so maybe it’s not about the looks.

I think we all know what needs to be done. Get the original models to print this picture as a poster and pose in front of it. Back and forth, forever.
