Text overlays include 'me who just watched a channel for background noise' in the top right and 'Top 0.1% of viewers You watched 909 of their videos this year—that's dedication' at the bottom.

Origin notes

This meme is a remix of a scene from the American TV show 'The Office' (US version). The original scene has been edited to include text overlays and likely altered Dwight's appearance with a long hair wig for comedic effect. It appears to have been created using basic image editing software to add text overlays to a screenshot from the show.
