When He Says 'Smell This' vs She Says 'Smell This' Nyan Cat Meme

This meme is a satirical remix of the iconic Nyan Cat internet meme, using two contrasting visual versions to play on gender-based stereotypes about the phrase 'Smell this'. The top section features a menacing, demonic black cat with a waffle body, surrounded by red smoky clouds and floating skulls, paired with the text When a man says 'Smell this'. This implies that when a man uses this phrase, it typically refers to something unpleasant, gross, or shocking, exaggerated by the dark, threatening visuals. The bottom section shows a cheerful, cute white cat with a pink frosted pop-tart body, flying through space trailing a bright rainbow, paired with When a woman says 'smell this'. This implies that when a woman uses this phrase, it usually refers to something pleasant, like a new fragrance, baked treat, or nice scent, emphasized by the warm, friendly visuals. The joke relies on exaggerated gender stereotypes to create a humorous contrast between the two scenarios, using the recognizable Nyan Cat format to make the observational joke more relatable to internet users.

The original Nyan Cat meme originated in 2011 as a looping YouTube animation of a cat with a pop-tart body flying through space, which quickly went viral across social media platforms. This image is a derivative/remix of that original meme, edited to create a gender contrast joke. It is likely circulated on popular meme-sharing platforms such as Reddit (subreddits like r/memes or r/dankmemes), Twitter/X, Instagram, or TikTok, as part of the common trend of reworking classic memes to comment on modern social stereotypes. The art style mimics the original Nyan Cat but modifies the visuals to fit the two opposing scenarios, with a small, illegible artist signature in the bottom right corner as the only visible marking.
