    Doesn’t the kid’s name need to be Paint, not Finger, for the joke to work? Or am I missing something

      Yeah. You are missing the ecolution of the meme to a nonsensical level where kid named finger is now a more successful meme than the original.

      There are many stories about Daniel Radcliffe being confused for Elijah Wood and vice versa; this one is pretty good:

      Radcliffe also shared a funny story about an occasion where he was mistaken for Wood, but because of a language barrier, he signed an autograph anyway–with the words, “I am not Elijah Wood.”

      “I was once on a red carpet in Japan and a photo of you [Wood] was thrust at me. My first instinct was to say, ‘Oh, I’m not … So I can’t …’ but I thought the language barrier would be too much,” Radcliffe said. “So the quickest way to deal with it was just to write, ‘I am not Elijah Wood, [signed] Daniel Radcliffe,’ and then hope somebody translated that for him later.”
