AboutWhat does the meme depict?
The 'There Are No Accidents' meme consists of a three-panel format featuring Master Oogway, the wise tortoise from the 2008 animated movie Kung Fu Panda. The first and third panels display the same image of Master Oogway, alongside his quote 'There are no accidents.' In the middle panel, there is an image or word deemed by the creator to be accidental. In the third panel, the word 'no' in Oogway's quote is humorously crossed out to imply that the content in the second panel is indeed an accident.
OriginWho did it first?
The first known appearance of the image featuring Master Oogway was on the Zillion Designs blog on June 4, 2014, used in the context of the blog's themes, and in a YouTube video uploaded by 2Cor12.9 on November 7, 2013. The exploitable three-panel format of the 'There Are No Accidents' meme was first introduced by Redditor King_of_Connaught on the subreddit /r/dankmemes on September 5, 2017. The setup consisted of the image of Master Oogway in the first and third panels with the crossed-out 'no' in the final panel, and the word 'anime' featured as the accidental element in the second panel.[1]
