AboutWhat does the meme depict?
The 'Evil Kermit' meme features two images of the Muppet character Kermit the Frog in a single frame. In the meme, he is seen talking to his doppelgänger, Constantine, who is dressed as a Sith Lord from Star Wars. Constantine appears as the embodiment of Kermit's inner voice, suggesting indulgent, lazy, selfish, or unethical actions, contrasting with Kermit's more reserved and moral character.
OriginWho did it first?
The meme originates from the 2014 musical comedy film 'Muppets Most Wanted', where Kermit encounters his look-alike, Constantine, who wears a black cloak. This setup inspired the meme when on November 6th, 2016, a post on Twitter (now X) by user @aaannnnyyyyaaaa featured Kermit alongside a dark, Sith-dressed version of himself. The caption humorously depicted a moment of inner conflict, saying 'me: sees a fluffy dog / me to me: steal him.' The image resonated widely online, sparking a popular meme format. Additionally, further context and visual depiction of this character interaction can be seen in the official trailer for 'Muppets Most Wanted'.[1]
