AboutWhat does the meme depict?
The 'Roll Safe' meme features an image of actor Kayode Ewumi portraying Reece Simpson (a.k.a. 'Roll Safe') in the web series 'Hood Documentary'. In the image, Ewumi is seen grinning and pointing to his temple, which is often accompanied by captions that humorously highlight flawed logic or poor decision making.
OriginWho did it first?
The 'Roll Safe' meme originated from a scene in the 'Hood Documentary' web series. On June 1st, 2016, BBC Three uploaded a mini-documentary about the series on their YouTube channel, featuring a clip where the character, Reece Simpson, points to his head and smiles while making a humorous remark. Following this, the meme gained popularity when a screenshot of this scene was posted by FootyHumor on Twitter (now X) on November 15th, 2016, joking about cunningly starting a fight with a girlfriend to play video games.[1]
