Home at home

Overview

A two-panel comic meme. Top panel: Stick-figure 'Me' asks 'Mom, can we get a home?' while a house labeled 'For Sale' appears in the background. Mom responds, 'We already have home at home.' Bottom panel: A gray, dilapidated scene with the text 'Home at home' shows the two stick figures in a small, run-down area, humorously revealing the 'home at home' is a poor living condition, satirizing the 'we have X at home' meme template by subverting the expectation of a proper home.

Origin notes

Originates from Reddit as a meme, following the popular 'we have X at home' meme template where a request for something is met with the response that a lesser version exists at home. This iteration applies the template to housing, using simple stick-figure drawings and a two-panel layout to contrast the desired home with the actual inadequate 'home at home'.

This is a two-panel Wojak meme comparing 10 years of changing expectations around housing affordability. The top panel dated 2016 features a cheerful, smiling Wojak alongside the text stating an optimistic long-term life goal: 'I'll Buy a House for My Parents and I'. The bottom panel dated 2026 shows a heavily shaded, haggard, defeated version of Wojak paired with text that reflects the grim reality many young people face: 'Can i even afford the Rent?'.

The second panel shows the Zillow real estate platform logo with the label 'Checks', indicating the characters are browsing listings on Zillow. The third panel displays two photos of small, old, unremarkable, somewhat run-down suburban houses with large red text overlaid showing a price of $1,200,000. The fourth panel shows both characters with bulging red eyes, screaming in furious, shocked rage, represented by extended strings of the letters F and U.
