Take, for example, the “[Chicks With Steve Buscemeyes](http://chickswithstevebuscemeyes.tumblr.com/ "undefined")” phenomenon that takes pictures of women and replaces their eyes with those of Steve Buscemi. Some people find it very entertaining, but some people — like Buscemi himself, it turns out — just don’t see why it’s so funny. The actor dropped by _Late Night_ Monday to chat with Seth Meyers about his new talk show, _Park Bench_. But first, Meyers brought up the whole Buscemi eyes thing. After Meyers shows him a few photos of Disney princesses with their eyes Buscemified, the actor says, “It makes those characters a little bit hotter, don’t you think?” ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/2853001/steve-buscemi-does-not-think-the-buscemi-eyes-meme-is-very-funny/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/2853001/steve-buscemi-does-not-think-the-buscemi-eyes-meme-is-very-funny/"},"headline":"Steve Buscemi Does Not Think the \"Buscemi Eyes\" Meme Is Very Funny","datePublished":"2014-06-10T16:52:21.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:10:37.240Z","description":"His wife, however, finds its hilarious","url":"https://time.com/2853001/steve-buscemi-does-not-think-the-buscemi-eyes-meme-is-very-funny/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Seth Meyers","Late Night with Seth Meyers","celebrity","memes"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Samantha Grossman","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/samantha-grossman/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/2853001/steve-buscemi-does-not-think-the-buscemi-eyes-meme-is-very-funny/","name":"Steve Buscemi Does Not Think the \"Buscemi Eyes\" Meme Is Very Funny"}}]}] ```
