About
Unimpressed Lizard is a photoshop meme based on an image of a lizard gazing at the camera with a grumpy expression on its face. The cutout image of the lizard is superimposed onto a variety of base images, in a similar vein to many other photoshop memes and image macros that have been inspired by photographs of bored looking subjects.
