Grumpy Cat is glad she missed new memes after death

This is a single panel meme using the iconic Grumpy Cat template. It features the famously grumpy-looking cat Tardar Sauce held by a partially visible human hand, staring at the viewer with her signature unimpressed scowl. Bold white text at the top reads 'I DIED 7 YEARS AGO AND HAVEN'T SEEN A LOT OF THE NEW MEMES.', with a matching one-word response at the bottom reading 'GOOD.' The joke plays on Grumpy Cat's established persona of disliking almost everything, implying that modern new memes are of such low quality that the cat is glad she did not have to experience them after her 2019 death.

Overview

This is a single panel meme using the iconic Grumpy Cat template. It features the famously grumpy-looking cat Tardar Sauce held by a partially visible human hand, staring at the viewer with her signature unimpressed scowl. Bold white text at the top reads 'I DIED 7 YEARS AGO AND HAVEN'T SEEN A LOT OF THE NEW MEMES.', with a matching one-word response at the bottom reading 'GOOD.' The joke plays on Grumpy Cat's established persona of disliking almost everything, implying that modern new memes are of such low quality that the cat is glad she did not have to experience them after her 2019 death.

Origin notes

The base Grumpy Cat template originated in 2012, when photos of the real cat Tardar Sauce (who had dwarfism and an underbite causing her permanent grumpy expression) went viral, becoming one of the most widely used meme templates of the 2010s. This specific iteration of the meme was sourced via RSS from the Reddit r/Meme subreddit, with the original post title 'He wouldn't have liked them anyway'. The 7-year reference to Grumpy Cat's 2019 death dates this version of the meme to roughly 2026.

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.

She adjusts her glasses with her right hand, displaying a surprised or amused expression. A bold text overlay at the bottom reads: 'I HAVEN’T SEEN THAT MEME IN 20 YEARS.'

This two-panel meme uses the iconic 'Woman Yelling at Cat' template to satirize the stark contrast between online discourse on Reddit and real-life social interactions. The left panel features an angry, yelling woman (from *The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills*) paired with text representing the cynical, frustrated tone of some Reddit users: 'Redditors: "this person sucks and society sucks too!!!!"'. The right panel shows Smudge the Cat, looking confused and uncomfortable at a dinner table, paired with text depicting polite, casual in-person conversations: 'People irl: chill and friendly "hi how are you doing today I hope you are doing well"'. The joke highlights how online spaces can foster negative, unfiltered rants, while offline interactions tend to be more reserved and polite, with the cat's confused expression mirroring the dissonance between these two modes of communication.
