WHEN YOUR COMMENT HAS MORE UPVOTES THAN THE POST ITSELF

Overview

A meme image featuring a man with a smug, superior expression. The top text reads 'WHEN YOUR COMMENT HAS MORE UPVOTES THAN THE POST ITSELF', and there is a label pointing to the man's face that says 'Signature look of superiority'. The bottom of the image has a watermark 'imgflip.com'. The meme humorously depicts the feeling of pride when a comment receives more engagement (upvotes) than the original post on social media platforms like Reddit.

Origin notes

Originates from Reddit's Meme community with the original title 'GreatMemeReset'. Created by overlaying text onto a stock photo known for the 'signature look of superiority' trope. The image was likely edited using Imgflip (as indicated by the watermark), a common meme creation platform. It is a remix/edited version of the original stock photo.

This meme uses a screenshot of actor Sting as Feyd-Rautha from the 1984 *Dune* film, displaying a shocked, unsettled wide-eyed stare. The text overlay at the top reads: **WHEN SOMEONE POSTS ABOUT AN UNPOPULAR OPINION AND ITS ACTUALLY AN UNPOPULAR OPINION**. It humorously captures the relatable online experience of encountering a genuinely unpopular take, as opposed to the common trend of 'unpopular opinion' posts that are secretly mainstream. The character's tense, disturbed expression emphasizes the surprise and discomfort of coming across a truly contrarian, unliked opinion on social media.

This is a multi-panel meme using the popular progressive Vince McMahon reaction template. It builds up the following scenario: a user posts a controversial statement online, faces backlash from other users, then receives overwhelming support from their own supporters, gains 500 upvotes in an hour with most users agreeing with their take, and even earns a platform award for the post. Vince McMahon's expressions get increasingly more excited as the scenario builds up, but the punchline comes an hour later: the post is removed by platform censorship, and Vince's expression drops to a deadpan disappointed look. The meme jokes about the common frustrating experience of having a popular, user-supported controversial post taken down by platform content moderation, ruining the excitement of viral success.

The bottom text repeats the template's iconic catchphrase. The joke centers on the relatable experience of wanting to support an unpopular opinion you agree with on Reddit: adding a single upvote to a heavily downvoted comment is a small, satisfying gesture that feels like meaningful, honest work even though it won't reverse the comment's negative overall score.

In the bottom panel, Drake smiles and makes an approving gesture paired with the text "50k upvotes on Reddit", indicating preference for 50,000 upvotes on Reddit.

This is a 4-panel meme utilizing the iconic déjà vu glitch scene from the 1999 film *The Matrix*. The first panel shows a black cat walking across a floor, captioned 'Sees interesting post'. The second panel shows the character Neo (portrayed by Keanu Reeves) with a confused neutral expression, captioned 'Comments and then forgets'. The third panel is an identical shot of the same black cat walking, captioned 'Sees repost a year later', referencing the Matrix's déjà vu effect which signals a glitch in the simulated reality. The fourth panel is the same shot of Neo, captioned 'Makes same comment'. The meme humorously depicts the common relatable experience on Reddit (and other social media platforms) where users forget they previously engaged with a viral post, and end up leaving the exact same comment when they encounter the repost much later.

This is a two-panel reaction meme using the popular regular vs tuxedo Winnie the Pooh format. The top panel shows standard Winnie the Pooh sitting in a blue armchair with a neutral, unimpressed expression, paired with text that suggests the viewer look at the NSFW (Not Safe For Work) picture in the post. The bottom panel features the edited, smug-looking Winnie the Pooh wearing a formal black tuxedo and bow tie, paired with text stating that the better option is to scroll the post up to the edge to click the upvote button instead. The original title 'In a train' sets the context: when browsing social media on public transport like a train, viewing NSFW content is inappropriate, so upvoting is the more suitable, socially acceptable action.

This is a two-panel meme adapted from an opening scene of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. The top panel features Imperial officer Orson Krennic, flanked by armed stormtroopers, with overlaid text reading "WHY DON'T YOU REPOST AND CROSS POST? YOU COULD BE EARNING SO MUCH KARMA." The bottom panel shows Galen Erso, a disheveled former Imperial engineer, responding with the text "It's a peaceful life." The joke pokes fun at Reddit content creation culture, where many users choose to make their own original memes instead of reposting or cross-posting existing content to farm Reddit karma points, even if reposting would earn them more visibility and internet points.
