"Adam Yeti": Online memes erupt as Adam Sandler shows up in a hoodie and shorts to Oscars 2025

The Oscars are finally here, and as Hollywood's elite are wrapped in diamonds and submerged in couture, Adam Sandler has once again shown us that dress codes are merely 'suggestions.' In a display of pure Sandler energy, he arrived sporting a sky-blue hooded jacket and - hold on to your hat - shorts.

That's true; while the rest of the celebs spent months putting together their individual designer outfits, Sandler checked around his closet and said, "Yeah, that'll do." A stylist somewhere in the Dolby Theatre just fainted.

While cameras panned close to Adam Sandler, Conan couldn't help but comment on the 'guy in shorts at the Oscars.' Sandler, seemingly unruffled, swept the attention aside like a guy who had apparently long ago accepted his wardrobe decision.

But Conan wasn't giving him a pass, skewering his appearance as something out of a late-night casino excursion gone awry. The crowd laughed along, with Sandler simply nodding and looking precisely like a guy considering whether to fold or go all in on a losing hand. Conor told him:

"You’re dressed like a guy playing video poker at 2 a.m."

Adam said:

"Nobody even thought about what I was wearing until you brought it up!"

As soon as the news went out, someone took to his X account and commented:

"Adam Yeti."

One X fan gazed at Adam Sandler's sky-blue hoodie and shorts set and christened him Adam Yeti. And really, they weren't wrong. With the baggy jacket and unmistakable comfort-over-fashion vibe, he resembled less a Hollywood A-list star and more a mythical being seen only at gas stations late at night.

If there were an Oscar for "Most Likely to Be Spotted Near a Slushie Machine," Sandler would have won hands down. And before anyone knew it, the internet had a new style icon - whether it liked it or not. Adam Sandler's Oscars ensemble set fans into a tizzy, eliciting everything from unadulterated admiration to outright incredulity.

Some people saw a man who was one step ahead of his time, revolutionizing red carpet chic, while others were simply trying to wrap their heads around how he was able to get past security looking like a dude rolling in at a 2 a.m. snack run. One thing is for sure - humans 'had thoughts,' and they weren't holding back.

Some fans claimed Adam Sandler was the sole celebrity bold enough to show up looking like he had just rolled out of bed and stumbled into the Oscars by accident.

Others maintained he wasn't overdressed - everyone else was simply overdressed for an evening of award-winning on a low-key night. All above, fans on X were having fun with memes and reactions:

"Me at basically every events," a user joked.

"This look just rearranged my entire perspective," another user hilariously commented.

Other people imagined him accidentally walking into the Oscars on the way to make an impromptu snack run:

"Lol this his best hoodie he pulled out for the people Chill," a folk commented.

"That man is ALWAYS dressed to the 9s," a netizen hilariously commented.

Others were more observational, matter-of-factly acknowledging his presence as if that was the point enough. Some say he is giving holiday vibes:

"Sandler always knows how to keep it cool. Signal holiday vibes," according to a user.

"Adam Sandler being Adam Sandler," a netizen hilariously wrote.

And voilà, Adam Sandler once again demonstrated that dress codes are just a suggestion and that real confidence is wearing 'whatever' you feel like - especially if you look like you just rolled out of bed. Whether people were amazed, perplexed, or just amused, one thing was certain: while others took home Oscars, Sandler took home 'peak comfort' - and, naturally, another iconic meme to add to his repertoire.
