Zuckerberg’s Guinness Sip Draws Online Jokes
A brief video of Meta chief executive Mark Zuckerberg sipping Guinness on a podcast has prompted jokes online about his apparent reaction, but the footage does not show whether he liked the drink or had tried beer before. The clip, from an episode of Cheeky Pint hosted by Stripe co-founder John Collison, shows Zuckerberg take a sip and then move his glass away. Alexandr Wang, Meta’s chief AI officer, is also in the conversation. The video offers no direct explanation from Zuckerberg about his response. Users on Reddit and X reacted to the footage with jokes, including comparisons to someone tasting beer for the first time and claims that Zuckerberg appeared to be pretending to enjoy the stout. Those comments describe viewers’ interpretations, not verified information about his drinking history or preferences. The moment drew attention because the video captured a short, informal reaction during a discussion conducted over drinks. Some commenters focused on Zuckerberg’s expression and the way he moved the glass. Others revived longstanding online jokes portraying him as robotic or as someone awkwardly imitating ordinary human behavior.
