Annoyed Arthur Morgan Hates 'Fifteen Hundred' Phrase

This meme is a reaction-style image combining a top text caption with a screenshot of Arthur Morgan from the 2018 video game *Red Dead Redemption 2*. The white text at the top reads: 'How I look at people who say fifteen hundred instead of one thousand five hundred'. The lower portion of the image shows Arthur Morgan, a main character from the game, sitting slouched in a chair with a visibly tired, irritated, and disgusted facial expression—his eyes are bloodshot, his face is gaunt, and his mouth is slightly agape in a look of weary frustration. The core joke of the meme is exaggerating a petty linguistic pet peeve: the creator (and those who relate to the meme) finds the shorthand phrase 'fifteen hundred' for the numerical value 1500 to be unnecessarily informal or grating, using Arthur's worn-out, fed-up appearance to amplify that feeling of mild annoyance over a trivial language preference. It's a relatable joke about small, everyday frustrations with how people phrase numbers.

Origin notes

The image of Arthur Morgan is a direct screenshot from Red Dead Redemption 2, taken from a late-game scene where Arthur is suffering from tuberculosis, which gives him that haggard, exhausted look. This meme is a remix/edited creation: users took this game screenshot and added the top text caption to create a reaction meme. Memes utilizing Arthur Morgan's various emotional expressions from Red Dead Redemption 2 became extremely popular shortly after the game's release in October 2018, circulating widely on social media platforms like Reddit (especially in subreddits like r/memes, r/reddeadredemption), Twitter/X, and TikTok. These memes are typically created using basic image editing tools to overlay text onto game screenshots, and are shared as relatable content for both gaming communities and general meme audiences.
