I wanted to talk to Marcus because he’s been engaging with the same intense Covid denialism online that I’ve experienced on the road. Now, he’s got a book coming out in January. He created a parody list of all the ways people committed voter fraud, and went on a meme bender celebrating the poetic justice of Trump getting Covid.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (whom he also has a public crush on). He shares pithy dunks by similarly bold figures online like Rep. He racked up over 160,000 likes on an Instagram comment calling out Iowa Republican Senator Joni Ernst for posting a photo of herself getting the vaccine after she had suggested doctors were falsifying the Covid death toll for profit. In that transition from goofball to no-bullshiter, Quentin Quarantino became an online arbiter of Covid truth, tapping into the emotional hurricane of fury, disbelief, and exhaustion that is living in America right now. There actually was a level of responsibility that I felt that I had for being a voice of the pandemic.” There are so many eyes on Instagram and meme pages. “There were days where I would lose 10,000 followers,” said Marcus. Quentin Quarantino started ragging on the alternate reality perpetuated by Fox News and the Rudy Giuliani’s of the world, mocking everyone from the armed Covid protesters in Lansing to the henchmen of the dark web burning down 5G towers. Like everyone else in America, Marcus got political. “There was a point where I just felt like I had to start calling out the bullshit,” said Marcus. Suddenly, the jokes about sweatpants and junk food weren’t funny anymore. Fox News called Covid a hoax and Trump told people to inject bleach. He’s got it down to the *font* / Photo: Tommy Marcusīut then, shit got real. “‘Wes Quaranderson’ doesn’t rhyme as well as ‘Quentin Quarantino,’” said Marcus, who has the dance scene from Pulp Fiction tattooed on his left shoulder. In an effort to try to make light of quarantine life, eating Chef Boyardee in sweatpants alone, Marcus promised to post a meme every 30 minutes until the 14 day lockdown was over, and named the account after his second favorite director. The page was started by 25 year old Tommy Marcus, a University of Michigan graduate based in New York City, in the early and confusing days of lockdown. With a blend of original and reposted content, Quentin Quarantino’s following has surged to over half a million. Merchandise is just one small branch of Quentin Quarantino, a meteoric meme-star who’s been chronicling the absurdity of American Covid culture since that near apocalyptic day of March 13, 2020. I burst out laughing, followed the tag to the cheeky Instagram handle of Quentin Quarantino, and found myself lost in a page of memes, calling out the hypocrisy of pro-lifers and anti-maskers and dubbing Americans the Karens of Europe. It’s a quote from that painful second presidential debate when President-elect Biden (God that feels good to type) shut down President obese-turtle-flailing-on-his-back-in-the-hot-sun-knowing-his-time-is-over. She was sporting a baseball hat with the iconic words of 2020, “ Will you shut up, man ” stitched on the front.
