‘Da Vinky’ memes jolt Twitter after Hungarian duo mispronounce painter's name

In a new fest online, Twitter has launched an onslaught of the comical ‘The Vinky’ memes glorifying the artists’ muse for the Mona Lisa with jokes and sarcastic posts. The trend took off after the Hungarian twins Chris and Patrick Vörös posted video using Instagram’s quiz filter. Although, in what can be called a hilarious twist, one of the two mispronounced the Italian painter Leonardo da Vinci’s name after the duo was unable to answer the presumably challenging question hurled at them by Instagram, “Who painted the Mona Lisa?”

While the twin brothers, now dubbed as The Vinky or The Vinki brothers pronounced Vinci inappropriately, users started to share memes as Netflix joined the league. Sharing a still from the movie The Social Network, an adaptation of the book ‘The Accidental Billionaire’ the streaming service wrote, "Da Vinky?". In another similar meme, the characters Winklevoss twins can be seen seated on a long table with a frozen glare, directed at The Vinky’s inadvertent creators. Another portrayed a still from the horror flick Annabelle, twitching the dialogues to suit The Vinky.

The thumb, the index, the middle finger, the ring finger, and da vinky,” commented another on the video.

“When did the cold war end?
