An iconic internet meme was reborn thanks to the trailer for Wicked during the 2024 Super Bowl

During the first half of the 2024 Super Bowl between the Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers, the first trailer for the upcoming movie Wicked hit the airwaves. It was a gorgeous trailer, ramping up the excitement for the Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande-led musical.

MORE: Ben Affleck’s brilliant Dunkin’ Donuts Super Bowl 58 ad with Tom Brady inspired lots of love (and jokes).

It also reminded everyone of one of the absolute best memes to ever hit the internet. It’s simple: just two grown men arguing about whether or not Glinda from The Wizard of Oz (and the Wicked books) was a princess.

Once you’ve heard “She wore a crown and came down in a bubble, Doug,” shouted, you’ll never forget it. And quickly the internet all made the same joke.
