It's Pronounced Pride June Meme

The meme uses screenshots of the character Titus Andromedon from the show Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, who wears a rainbow pride headband. The first panel shows him sitting on a couch holding a remote with a cheeky expression, followed by two progressively closer zoom-ins on his smug, knowing face to emphasize the sassy correction.

Them: It's June
Me: It's pronounced 'Pride'

Overview

This is a 3-panel sassy Pride Month themed meme. The text at the top sets up a joke: other people mention it is June, while the poster corrects them that the month is actually pronounced 'Pride', referencing that June is globally recognized as LGBTQ+ Pride Month. The meme uses screenshots of the character Titus Andromedon from the show Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, who wears a rainbow pride headband. The first panel shows him sitting on a couch holding a remote with a cheeky expression, followed by two progressively closer zoom-ins on his smug, knowing face to emphasize the sassy correction.

Origin notes

The meme template originates from a scene of the Netflix original series Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, featuring actor Tituss Burgess playing the character Titus Andromedon. This edited version with Pride Month text was shared via RSS from X.com (formerly Twitter) user meme.jpg, and carries a watermark for boredpanda.com, indicating it was previously circulated on the Bored Panda content platform. This format is a popular seasonal meme that is widely shared online at the start of June each year to celebrate Pride Month.

The meme uses a text setup followed by two side-by-side images of the viral Dancing Pumpkin Man character. The top text reads: first line 'Me: "Halloween is soon"', second line 'My friends: "it's June"', third line 'Me:'. The left image shows the pumpkin-masked dancer in a spooky graveyard setting, while the right image overlays the same dancing figure with the LGBTQ+ pride rainbow flag. The joke plays on the dual association of June: it is both officially Pride Month, and several months before Halloween, so the speaker enthusiastically embraces both events at the same time.

This is a single-panel hand-drawn cartoon meme. A blonde woman holding a mobile phone speaks to a man standing next to her, saying 'I LIKE YOUR PRIDE SHIRT.' in a speech bubble. The man is wearing a black t-shirt printed with the iconic cover art of Pink Floyd's *The Dark Side of the Moon* album, which shows a triangular prism refracting a beam of white light into a rainbow color spectrum. The core humorous gag of the meme comes from a relatable, lighthearted misunderstanding: the woman associates the rainbow graphic on the shirt with LGBTQ+ pride symbolism, while the design is actually famous rock band merchandise unrelated to pride movements.

A meme composed of two sections: top text and a bottom image. The top text reads: 'When someone tries to insult you by calling you gay but you actually are'. Below the text is an image of a skeleton wearing a purple hood, characterized by an open mouth, exposed teeth, and a wide, laughing expression. The skeleton appears to be in a state of amusement, with its head tilted back slightly. The background features a vibrant gradient transitioning from orange at the top through yellow and green to blue at the bottom, resembling a rainbow. The overall composition humorously depicts the scenario where an attempt to insult using 'gay' backfires because the target identifies with that trait.

This is a discriminatory, homophobic meme that spreads hate against the LGBTQ+ community. It features a stock photograph of an angry uniformed police officer holding his hand forward in a 'stop' gesture at the center. The top text reads 'PRIDE MONTH IS OVER', with 'PRIDE MONTH' styled in rainbow colors associated with the LGBTQ+ pride movement. Multiple commonly recognized LGBTQ+ symbols, including the rainbow pride arc, trans/nonbinary gender symbol, rainbow peace sign, pride-themed progress ribbon, and gay male couple symbol, are crossed out with bold red X marks surrounding the police officer. Large red text at the bottom reads 'STOP BEING GAY'.

This meme features a real man wearing a coral pink polo shirt with a watercolor-style rainbow pride heart printed on the front. He is hunched over, holding his lower back with a pained, grimacing expression, clearly experiencing physical discomfort. The text overlay parodies the common LGBTQ+ pride slogan: top text reads "I'M HERE, I'M QUEER", while the bottom text continues "AND MY JOINT PAIN IS MODERATE TO SEVERE". The joke is a relatable, self-deprecating combination of queer identity and common experiences of chronic or occasional joint/back pain, subverting the expected pride messaging for humorous effect.

This is a two-panel comparison meme featuring characters from the 2001 comedy film *Zoolander*. The left panel shows Ben Stiller as Derek Zoolander with an intense, stern, frowning expression, labeled 'mens mental health awareness month'. The right panel shows Owen Wilson as Hansel McDonald with a soft, flamboyant, smug expression wearing a light blue feathered outfit, labeled 'pride month'. The joke references the fact that both Men's Mental Health Awareness Month and Pride Month are observed in June, using the contrasting personas of the two rival Zoolander characters to highlight the stereotypically different moods and aesthetics associated with the two observances, tying back to the meme's title reference of the iconic 'I'm not your brahh' line from the film.

This is a 3-panel reaction meme about the progression of the year 2026. All panels feature Michael Scott, a character from the US sitcom *The Office*, seated in front of office blinds. The first panel shows Michael with a strained, neutral polite smile, paired with the label 'January' on the right. The second panel shows Michael wearing sunglasses, looking panicked and overwhelmed with his hands raised outwards, paired with the label 'Dissociation' on a black background. The third panel returns to the same shot of Michael with the forced neutral smile as the first panel, labeled 'June'. The comedic premise is that the first half of 2026 passes in a dissociative blur, with people feeling like they zone out after January and abruptly find themselves in June with no recollection of the intervening months, a relatable joke about rapid time passage caused by stress, overwork, or mental burnout.

This is a 3-panel vertical meme using the popular blurry white dissociating cat template. The first panel shows the cat with a calm small smile next to the text 'January', representing a collected, calm start to the year. The middle panel shows the same cat with wide empty eyes, a drip of drool or tear running down its face, next to a black background with the text 'Dissociation', referring to the mental burnout, numbness, and disconnection many people experience as the year progresses between January and June. The final panel returns to the cat with the same calm smile as the first panel next to the text 'June', joking that people act completely fine and put on a neutral front after dissociating through the first half of the year.

This satirical meme features top text that reads 'Companies when June 1st'. Below the text, an edited image shows a screaming young woman (the character Lucy Pevensie from the Narnia film series, edited into the pre-existing meme template) operating a heavy mounted minigun. Instead of bullets, the gun is firing out numerous LGBTQ Pride rainbow flags. The joke mocks the common, often criticized phenomenon of corporations abruptly flooding their branding, marketing, and public messaging with Pride-themed content immediately at the start of June (Pride Month), which is frequently perceived as performative support rather than genuine advocacy for the LGBTQ+ community.

Happy Pride Month, I guess.

This meme has two core sections: the top text reads "Me @ the sky waiting for the thunderstorm", followed by a still of the spoiled young boy character from *Shrek Forever After* holding a large red and white swirly lollipop with a demanding, insistent expression. Text overlaid on the character still says "Do the roar.". The joke plays on the relatable experience of people who enjoy thunderstorms eagerly anticipating loud thunder, comparing this eager expectation to the boy's repeated demand that Shrek roar for him in the original film scene.
