OH, THERE'S NO F------ WAY I'M MARRYING YOU, GASTON. F--- US GASTON I MAY NOT KNOW IT YET, BUT I'M ACTUALLY INTO FURRIES, SO... BUT... EVERY INCH OF ME IS COVERED IN HAIR... WE WANT THAT MEAT

O sonseulsoleil It's almost 1 AM but in the song Belle from Beauty and the Beast the villagers sing "I need six eggs" “that's too expensive!" and 99 GC. then later in the song Gaston, Gaston says "when I was a lad I ate four dozen eggs every morning to help me get large, now that I'm grown I eat five dozen eggs so l'm roughly as large as a barge" Gaston has been eating dozens of eggs every day for his entire life and is single handedly creating an artificial egg scarcity in the village and driving up egg prices. this economy is in shambles. 9,160 notes

No One Like Gaston Phrasal Template

In the 1991 film Beauty and the Beast, the character Gaston performs a song entitled "Gaston." During the song, he repeatedly sings variations on the line "no one does [x], like Gaston."

[This video has been removed]

The song inspired a phrasal template in which people replace the things Gaston does with humorous and/or absurd activities. On September 4th, 2018, Twitter ^[6] user @readingtheend tweeted, "me: I need to buy new stamps so I'm not sending out condolence cards with Disney villain stamps on them friend: no one grieves like Gaston, acts bereaved like Gaston me: how are you doing this friend: no one orders ornate funeral wreaths like Gaston." The tweet (shown below, left) received more than 14,000 retweets and 67,000 likes in three days.

Following the tweet, more users began posting variations of the song (examples below, center and right).

On September 6th, Mashable ^[7] posted a listicle about the meme.
