AboutWhat does the meme depict?
The George Zimmer Copypasta meme consists of stories told in the voice of George Zimmer, the founder and CEO of Men's Wearhouse, a U.S. men's clothing retailer. These stories, characterized by exaggerated machismo and vivid sexual metaphors, mimic the style of Zimmer's real TV commercials. Each story typically starts with the line 'Hi, I'm George Zimmer, founder and CEO of the Men's Wearhouse' and concludes with his signature catchphrase 'I GUARANTEE IT.'
OriginWho did it first?
The meme originated from a post on an official fan message board for pop singer Ashlee Simpson on October 23rd, 2004, immediately following a controversial incident where Simpson was caught lip-synching on Saturday Night Live. In the midst of discussions, a user named 'George_Zimmer' contributed a post in Zimmer's characteristic style, sparking the meme's spread across platforms like General Mayhem and 4chan.[1]
