AboutWhat does the meme depict?
"You Sit On A Throne Of Lies" meme features a still image of Buddy the Elf, a character played by Will Ferrell in the 2003 holiday family-comedy film 'Elf'. In this meme, Buddy is seen accusing someone of deceit, making it popular for highlighting dishonesty or falsehood in a humorous way.
OriginWho did it first?
The meme originated from a scene in 'Elf' where the character Buddy, confronted with a mall Santa he believes to be fake, accuses him by saying, 'you sit on a throne of lies'. The line quickly became memorable and started its internet journey on June 1, 2005, when a YTMND user named Cryokenetic created a page featuring Buddy's picture with the audio from this scene. This content gained widespread attention, ingeniously being used in over 30 similar YTMND creations. The original YouTube clip can be viewed here and the YTMND submissions are also available online (first submission, user profile, audio asset, search query).[1]
