Revisiting The Classic Advice Animal Meme 'Overly Attached Girlfriend' 11 Years Later

The viral internet meme known as "Overly Attached Girlfriend" features the vlogger Laina Morris, who takes on the role of an overprotective and clingy girlfriend. Originally uploaded on June 6th, 2012, the video quickly became a sensation online as a screenshot from the clip evolved into one of the most well-known Advice Animal memes during the early 2010s.
