AboutWhat does the meme depict?
The "So I Got That Goin' For Me, Which is Nice" meme consists of an advice animal image macro format. Each meme features a static screen capture of the character Carl Spackler, portrayed by Bill Murray, from the 1980 comedy film 'Caddyshack'. The image macro shows Carl with a pensive facial expression and is typically used to overlay text that outlines a personal problem or challenge, followed by an optimistic or positive twist, closing with the phrase 'So I got that goin' for me, which is nice.'
OriginWho did it first?
The meme pulls its catchphrase from a scene in the 1980 film 'Caddyshack' where the character Carl Spackler, the assistant greenskeeper, recounts an anecdote about caddying for the Dalai Lama, punctuating his story with the line, 'So I got that goin' for me, which is nice.' The scene can be viewed here on Youtube. The meme format was later popularized by a post on X (previously Twitter) by Thereminz on June 23rd, 2013, where they posted a Carl Spackler image macro to the /r/AdviceAnimals subreddit, focusing on recent personal setbacks but noting the receipt of a gift of Reddit gold as a positive.[1]
