Everyone remembers John Travolta's comeback role as the shlubby stoned hitman Vincent Vega in 1994's Pulp Fiction. In one of the more creative memes of tghe year, gifwizards over at /r/confusedtravolta have begun transplanting (you guessed it) a confused John Travolta into other milieu:
Mostly I'm angry that it took this long for animated memes to be a thing.

This has been on imgur/reddit for about a month or so now and I'm still not tired of seeing it. I also appreciate the hard-work that some people have invested in their editing/photo-shop skills.

I've been loving seeing these pop up lately on mlkshk; little Vincent Vega popping out of John Hurt's chest, etc. It's managed to temporarily supplant dickbutt, which is saying something given the latter's historical omnipresence over there.

Technically impressive indeed (not to mention humorous), but The Shining one even rises above that. Vincent in that familiar (haunted) hallway really looks just like all those of us who – for whatever reason – can’t find our room number.

Much preferable to dickbutt and badly photoshopped Michael Cera.

That Oscar selfie one is perfect. I didn't even notice him on the first loop through.

The Harry Potter one has been my favorite so far. Like the Oscar selfie, it's so well done you miss it the first time through.
My other favorite is a little meta. It's titled "My reaction when I can't find Javert".

Every time I think I can't stand Travolta for all the scientology bullshit I think of this role and the dance in particular and I forgive him all over again.

Surely by now someone else has noticed that the name of the Ah-ha song in the FPP is incorrect. It is "Take On Me", not "Take Me On".

There seem to be a lot of these meme-ified Travoltas around.
