AboutWhat does the meme depict?
The Inhaling Seagull meme features a two-panel image macro of a seagull. The first panel shows the seagull leaning backwards as if inhaling deeply, and the second panel depicts the same seagull leaning forward aggressively as if shouting or squawking. Typically, the first panel is captioned with the word 'inhales,' while the second panel showcases various verbose copypastas, song lyrics, or humorous phrases.
OriginWho did it first?
The Inhaling Seagull meme originated from a video uploaded by YouTuber Dimaniztlt on July 12th, 2012, featuring a seagull appearing to throw its head backwards and laugh. The meme gained significant popularity on September 3rd, 2017, after a post on Twitter (now X) by user @dioyasu showcased a two-panel image of the seagull. The initial tweet depicted the seagull leaning back and a deep-fried version of it squawking with the caption 'yamero.' Shortly afterward, the same user shared another two-panel image with the caption 'inhales / BOI,' referring to the 'breath in / Boi' meme.[1]
