AboutWhat does the meme depict?
The "Abe Simpson Talking To Kids" meme, also known as "Grandpa Simpson Telling A Story" or "Hey Everybody, An Old Man Is Talking," features an image macro of Abe Simpson, Homer Simpson's father from the TV show 'The Simpsons.' In this template, Abe is seen storytelling to a group of attentive kids seated around him in front of a lemon tree. This scene is often used on social media to humorously comment on 'outdated' trends or news, depicting Abe as someone rambling about old stories to a younger, ostensibly uninterested audience.
OriginWho did it first?
The meme originates from "Lemon of Troy," the 24th episode of the sixth season of 'The Simpsons,' which first aired on May 14, 1995. In this episode, there is a memorable scene where Abe Simpson is seen sitting in front of a lemon tree, regaling a group of kids with his tales. The notable scene was uploaded to YouTube on October 12, 2015, by the user ThingsICantFindOtherwise, who titled it "Hey Everybody, An Old Man Is Talking." Shortly before this, on September 8, 2015, a still image from the scene was posted on Imgur, capturing the attention of online audiences.[1]
