15 Ways Jennifer Lawrence Has Won the Internet

How does the Internet love Jennifer Lawrence? Let us count the ways. Bloggers, GIF makers, and commenters across the web just can't get enough of J.Law's antics. Can you blame us? She gives the Internet everything it ever wanted and more. With her quick-witted responses, heartfelt statements, self-consciously exaggerated facial expressions, and occasional moments of clumsiness, she is a never-ending font of Internet fodder. At 23, Jennifer Lawrence has just begun winning the Internet. Even though it's early in her career, she's put together a web resumé to rival the likes of Grumpy Cat and Psy. Here are 15 Ways Jennifer Lawrence Has Won the Internet.

Not only did Ms. Lawrence dazzle in Dior at this year's Golden Globes, but she did so with a nod to Disney's underwater princess. Jennifer's dress bore a striking resemblance to Ariel's makeshift outfit designed by everyone's favorite seagull fashionista, Scuttle. As with all things even remotely related to the Disney Princesses, Twitter went crazy and memes broke out in short order.

She is the King Midas of the Internet; everything that J.Law touches turns to GIFs. At one of what you have to imagine were thousands of Hunger Games pressers, Lawrence aimed to stealthily grab a mint, but ended up spilling her entire container of Altoids. The Internet loves Lawrence and her reactions so much that this GIF landed on many year-end GIF lists. Before you get too depressed that making year-end GIF lists is something we do now, let's move on.

The Lebron James of meme creation struck twice at the 2014 Globes. While in her Ariel-inspired get-up, J.Law laid down a photobomb of epic proportions. This inspired many mimics and motivated amateur graphic designers to give her the "Casually Pepper Spray Everything Cop" treatment. The notoriously prickly Swift even thanked Lawrence for the bomb, which makes her photographic assault an all-around victory.

There are few things that the Internet loves more than obscure movie quotes. After picking up the Best Actress Golden Globe, the first words out of Lawrence's mouth were, "What does it say, 'I beat Meryl.'" This wasn't meant as a jab at the first lady of the American screen; it was actually a reference to one of Better Midler's lines in The First Wive's Club. All of you acting students out there best hit up the only remaining video store in your town and check it out if you want to have any hope of earning J.Law level fame and glory.

At last year's Oscars, Lawrence came real with it: she was hungry. She mentioned at least a half dozen times that she was starving before finally breaking down and having her security guard grab her a happy meal. Admitting that she was down with the clown (Ronald McDonald not ICP) took strength; many closeted fast food lovers felt they could share their secret shame once J.Law told the world that yes, indeed, she did want fries with that.

Lawrence lived the teenage fanfic of female millenials everywhere when she stalked John Stamos at a party. During a Conan interview, Lawrence confessed that she turned into a "perverted guy" around the former sitcom uncle and current yogurt pitchman. When she came face to face with Stamos, he asked her is she was "on mushrooms," and she couldn't stop saying "dude" over and over again. I have to stop writing there because this is reminding so much of myself at college parties that I'm having frat house PTSD.

Kristen Chenoweth and Ms. Lawrence were bonding over their love of the show Dance Moms, like you do on the red carpet. Regardless of your feelings on the reality show, you have to respect J.Law's words here. After Chenoweth says, "Is the Pope Catholic," Lawrence fires back (quietly, as though she isn't on a microphone) "Does a bear shit in the woods?" You'd only expect to hear a line like this on the red carpet if you were watching vintage video of John Wayne, but America's Sweetheart owned it, as she owns all things.

Josh Hutcherson and Lawrence have an offscreen relationship that is almost too cute for BuzzFeed. Though there have been many adorkable moments shared between the two, the one immortalized in the GIF above is the clear winner. Never have we seen a teen idol’s spot blown up so thoroughly since James Dean (too soon?). Much respect to Hutcherson, who responded, “It’s good.” Being gracious after getting owned is the sign of a true gentleman.

Certainly, J.Law is not the first (nor not the last) actress that Jack Nicholson has has set his sights on. That being said, no actress has handled Nicholson's attentions quite like Lawrence. When Jack popped in to congratulate Lawrence on her Ocsar win, interrupting an interview, she called him "rude." As usual, Nicholson was undeterred; he said, "You remind me of an old girlfriend." J.Law quipped back flirtily, "Do I remind you of a new girlfriend." Not only did the YouTube love it, to the tune of 8 million views, but Lawrence soon received flowers and a bottle of Cristal from the aging Don Juan.

In a move usually reserved for punk rockers and grizzled country musicians, Jennifer Lawrence flipped the bird to the press core following her Oscar win for Silver Linings Playbook. Perhaps if this were 1975, this would have played as a bit scandalous, but these days it comes off as charming as a curtsy. The press, the Internet, and anyone who saw the gesture ate it up, bringing Lawrence even closer to our collective hearts.

Few celebrities know how to recover from gaffes like Jennifer Lawrence. After she completely bit it on her way up to stage to accept her Best Actress Oscar, the world only loved her more. Months after the fact, the Internet was still managing to publish new blog posts on her spill. When she finally told the world the reason for her fall, it was predictably charming. She told W Magazine, "I thought, Why is 'cakewalk' stuck in my head? ... I realized my stylist had told me, 'Kick, walk, kick, walk.' You are supposed to kick the dress out while you walk, and I totally forgot because I was thinking about cake! And that's why I fell." Makes sense to us.

There have been a number of times that Jennifer Lawrence has been candid about her weight. She makes no secret of how she feels about the pressures placed on her, her fellow actresses, and women in general to be skinny. On several occasions, reporters have run afoul of Ms. Lawrence on this topic, and they have paid the price. Every time this happens, the Internet erupts in digital cheers.

Jennifer Lawrence absolutely has the most dynamic facial expressions among Hollywood leading ladies. She may have the most impressive celebrity facial expression arsenal since Jim Carrey's heyday. This is just one of a number of J.Law GIFs that have become Tumblr canon and Internet comment shorthand. If you took away her acting work, her legendary acceptance speeches, and her candid interview commentary, Lawrence would still be an Internet all-star just for her endless GIF-able facial expressions.
