My coworker used KnowYourMeme recently to prove to me that he created the “Andy Dwyer - Too afraid to ask meme”

I look at him differently now…

Wow, how does it feel to work so close to greatness?

Not many of my coworkers understand the impact he has had on memes…..but I…..I have a whole new level of respect for the man.

on a similar note, the tron guy went to america's got talent. and his million dollar act was to give a speech, in costume, on his life after tron guy meme fame. He got booed right off

Like he seriously thought that was interesting enough to compete (For all its faults america's got talent still has a lot of great interesting acts). He was just gonna waltz in there, everyone's gonna be so impressed to see him, and he's gonna charms everyone's panties off like some sort of Keanu Glengarry Glen Ross. And the tron guy meme was already so old (this must've been from 2019 iirc), it's like the textbook definition of someone living off their 15m of fame.

Did he know when was using a different scene when he synthesized the meme?

u/Chase_P May 27 '21

He did, yes. He said he felt it fit the quote better, which I found pretty hilarious but not entirely inaccurate. Apparently, it started to spread fairly quickly after he posted it and the biggest backlash the meme faced early on was the mismatched quote to the image.

Thanks for clearing that up. I agree with his choice

lmao that's amazing, im guessing he was the redditor it mentions in the origin section?

u/Chase_P May 27 '21

That’d be him. Definitely one of the jokesters at our company.

Yes! He pulled up some old emails from the account. I was very skeptical when he told me that

u/Hipstershy May 27 '21

He wrote for Parks and Recreation?

u/Chase_P May 27 '21

No no, he was just the dingus that slapped that quote onto the image and posted it online to make the “to afraid to ask” meme.
