The number of memes I've forgotten over the years is too damn high!

Overview

The meme features a middle-aged man with a white beard, glasses, and wearing a black suit, white shirt, and patterned tie. He is raising his right hand with a clenched fist, appearing to shout or exclaim. Below the image, a black text box contains the caption: 'The number of memes I've forgotten over the years is too damn high!' The humor stems from the relatable feeling of forgetting past memes, paired with the iconic 'too damn high' phrase from the classic 'The rent is too damn high' meme template.

Origin notes

The meme originates from Reddit's Meme community, as indicated by the source 'Reddit:Meme' and original title 'Meme reset'. It is a remix of the well-known 'The rent is too damn high' meme template, which features a person expressing frustration about something being excessively high. This version repurposes the template to joke about forgotten memes, likely created through basic image editing software to add the custom text overlay.

This is a single panel meme using the iconic Grumpy Cat template.
