AboutWhat does the meme depict?
The Member Berries are a fictional species of purple superfruits featured in the animated television series South Park. In the show, these berries are characterized by their ability to speak, uttering phrases that evoke nostalgia along with controversial remarks including homophobic and racist statements. The berries appear visually as small, purple, grape-like fruits with faces that enable them to talk directly to characters as they are being consumed.
OriginWho did it first?
The concept of Member Berries was introduced in an episode titled 'Member Berries,' which first aired on September 14th, 2016, on Comedy Central. In this episode, the character Randy Marsh encounters the berries, which reminisce about various nostalgic elements of pop culture. However, as the episode progresses, the berries' dialogue includes increasingly questionable topics, such as suggesting a better past when there were fewer Mexicans in the United States, gay marriage was illegal, and during Ronald Reagan's presidency.
