In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “Approved” is a rare card of the Memes World series 76, number 22655 of the collection, and the 91st best-known meme of its 298 cards. Here is what the meme means, where it comes from, and how to get its card.
What does the “Approved” meme mean?
This format is used to validate something with over-the-top enthusiasm. The mispronunciation (“meem” instead of “me”) adds to the comedic effect. It’s commonly used to quickly approve a post, image, or proposal, often in an ironic or playful context.
Where does the “Approved” meme come from?
The scene originates from the episode “Mayor Knuckles” (season 1, episode 36) of the animated series *Sonic Boom*. In this sequence, Knuckles responds to Fastidious Beaver by saying “With meem! Approved!” when asked where to find books to expand the library. The original video was uploaded to YouTube on September 16, 2015, by user Knux827. Although aired in the US in May 2015, the clip’s rediscovery as a viral meme occurred around 2020. A Twitter post from October 9, 2019, showed early usage, but a Reddit post on March 30, 2020, drove its widespread dissemination.
