Empty Toilet Paper Roll Microsoft Word Joke Meme

"Microsoft Word? I haven't heard that name in years..."

This meme is a screenshot of a post from the X (formerly Twitter) account @NoContextBrits. The post features a humorous quote: 'Microsoft Word? I haven't heard that name in years...' positioned above a photograph of a metal toilet paper holder mounted on a wooden bathroom stall door, which only holds an empty cardboard toilet paper core with no toilet paper remaining. The joke plays on the dual use of paper: paper used for printing documents created in Microsoft Word, and toilet paper. It references the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic toilet paper hoarding shortages, implying all available paper has been used up as toilet paper, so there is no paper left to use for printing documents from Microsoft Word, hence the speaker has not needed to use or hear about Microsoft Word in a long time.

This meme was originally shared on X (formerly Twitter) by the popular account @NoContextBrits, which posts humorous, often absurd out-of-context content related to British life and relatable everyday situations. It combines a widely relatable image of an empty toilet roll in a public bathroom with a pop culture reference to Microsoft Office to create a lighthearted joke about pandemic-era shortages and everyday inconveniences.
