AboutWhat does the meme depict?
The 'Brent Rambo' meme features a child model, known from a 1990s promotional video for Apple's desktop products. In the meme template, Brent Rambo, a young boy with long hair, is seen enthusiastically giving a thumbs-up gesture while sitting and looking at a computer monitor. His expression and the thumbs-up are typically used to signal agreement or endorsement, similar to the Approval Guy meme on 4chan.
OriginWho did it first?
The 'Brent Rambo' meme originated from a promotional video released by Apple Inc. in the early 1990s, highlighting its Macintosh and Apple II products. Brent Rambo, the child featured in the video, is shown nodding in approval at a computer screen while composing a letter addressed to then-Apple CEO John Sculley, which is detailed in his Wikipedia profile. The scene was first transformed into a meme by a Reddit (now X) user, under the username phracker, on February 9, 2013. The original post was titled "'Nuff said" and featured Brent giving a thumbs-up, quickly gaining traction within the community.
