AboutWhat does the meme depict?
"I'm Going to Build My Own Theme Park With Blackjack and Hookers" is a memorable quote from the animated TV show Futurama, spoken by the character Bender. This quote has inspired a meme format where the text is adapted to express a rebellious or dismissive attitude towards a frustrating situation. Typically, the meme features an image of Bender with a determined or disgruntled expression, often accompanied by the adapted quote in text form.
OriginWho did it first?
The meme originates from the Futurama episode titled "The Series Has Landed", which first aired on April 4, 1999. During an outing at a lunar amusement park, Bender attempts to steal from an arcade machine. After being thrown out, he declares his intent to build his own theme park featuring blackjack and hookers. The scene continues as Bender catches up with his group, only to see the spaceship's door closing, which prompts him to repeat his declaration. The episode is detailed here.[1]
