Home Decor Sign Accidentally Reads Ho Ho Meme Woman Yelling At Cat Parody
Text content
The two adjacent home decor signs read 'HOME' and 'HO ME' respectively, which combined visually read as 'HO HO ME ME' interpreted as 'HOHO MEME'. The bottom left label reads 'HOME HOME', and the bottom right label reads 'HOHO MEME'.
Overview
This collage meme has three main sections. The top section displays two side-by-side white wooden home decor signs with brown wooden letters, placed on a shelf in a retail store: the left sign reads 'HOME', while the right sign has 'HO' on the top row and 'ME' on the bottom row, so the two signs combined visually read as 'HO HO ME ME' which is interpreted as 'HOHO MEME'. The bottom half uses the widely recognized 'Woman Yelling at a Cat' meme template: the left panel shows an agitated, yelling woman pointing aggressively, labeled with the text 'HOME HOME' to represent the intended purpose of the home decor signs, while the right panel features a confused, unimpressed white cat (Smudge) sitting at a dining table, labeled 'HOHO MEME' to represent the funny, unintended interpretation of the sign arrangement. The joke relies on the accidental double reading of the decor signs and the familiar meme template to highlight the humor of the retail display fail.
Origin notes
This is a derivative meme based on the extremely popular 'Woman Yelling at Cat' (Taylor Armstrong and Smudge meme) template, which originated from a 2011 episode of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills paired with a 2019 viral photo of a cat named Smudge. The photo of the misarranged home decor signs is a widely circulated retail fail image. This specific iteration of the meme was shared on X (formerly known as Twitter) by the account @WholesomeMeme, as noted in the provided source information.
