The iconic painting with the farmer and his wife called ‘American Gothic’ by painter Grant Wood has been modernized into a sketch featuring Beyonce and hubby Jay-Z by Justin Hager. The two are seen side by side with the word surfboardt written along the bottom.
This is a play on Beyonce’s ‘Drunk In Love’ lyrics. They way she sings "Surfboard" sounds like she is saying surfboardt and the internet will never forget about it. The hilarious sketch will offer a good laugh. The running internet joke is amplified by Justin Hager.
It is funny without being disrespectful which is important when dealing with works of art that are loved globally. Everyone who takes a look at this is sure to understand exactly where the idea originated from, even if they can’t remember who the original painter is.
