Who knew your 15 minutes of fame could happen all thanks to a fly?

Facebook user Dave Tristan Robles shared his graduation photo yesterday that went viral with the help of an insect. He said in the caption in Filipino: “That feeling you get when your pet fly graduates with you.”

Y’all. Look at how HD that fly looks:

The fly rests comfortably above his right eyebrow while Robles smiles for his graduation photo and it. is. hilarious.

The photo had over 4,800 likes and 3,100 shares as of this article’s posting. Netizens had a lot to say about the shot.

Facebook user Angel Ledesma wrote in Filipino: “That’s okay, it just looks like a mole.”

Reminds us of a familiar Austin Powers movie scene where he couldn’t stop pointing out the mole on someone’s face:




“At least the fly graduated,” wrote Edward Barles.

Namaee Gonzales Valles replied and said: “You’ll graduate too, love. [The fly] just graduated first.”

Ouch. That’s got to be tough.

“I should bring my spider to my graduation pictorial,” Jonathan Selga said. Well, there’s a first for everything right?

Genesis Seiji Llamas said that the photo was “so memorable.”

#OneForTheBooks!

Rhona Marie added: “They graduated at the same time.”

Ain’t that just the sweetest?

Claire De Borja said that this was the “best graduation picture ever.”
