Origin notes
This meme is a remixed version of the iconic 'Rent Is Too Damn High' meme, which originated from Jimmy McMillan's viral 2010 New York gubernatorial debate appearance where he repeatedly used the catchphrase 'the rent is too damn high' to advocate for lower housing costs. This edited version replaces the original rent-related text to joke about excessive stupidity, making it relatable across many contexts. As per the provided source information, this iteration of the meme was shared on the Reddit Meme subreddit via RSS feed, with the original post title 'Everywhere every sub', referencing that the sentiment applies to nearly every online community on Reddit.
