Affleck's boredom became a meme throughout the entire night, but it got particular attention during this segment because many fans were genuinely enthralled by this performance.
Context
In fairness to Affleck, fans pointed out that the responses to this performance didn't make much sense anywhere in the crowd. At least he avoided the pitfalls of dancing off-beat.
Boston Music
Fans joked about what kind of music would have put more energy into Affleck, leaning heavily on his reputation as a Bostonian.
Perspective
Fans joked that Affleck's disinterest in the Grammys put their own experiences into perspective, as they could not be having as bad a time as this actor.
Act Energetic
Viewers wondered why Affleck didn't at least act like he was enjoying himself a bit more, and why people close to him like Lopez didn't advise him to step it up a bit.
Laugh Factor
On the other hand, many viewers were entertained by Affleck's demeanor and were pleased it featured so heavily in the night's broadcast.
Introvert
Many fans sympathized with Affleck as a fellow introvert, feeling like his behavior didn't reflect on the performance itself but the long, drawn-out event.
Dunkin
Finally, as with any Ben Affleck meme, this one included plenty of references to his beloved Dunkin Donuts coffee franchise.
