In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “I Made This” is a rare card of the Memes World series 74, number 22035 of the collection, and the 11th best-known meme of its 300 cards. Here is what the meme means, where it comes from, and how to get its card.

What does the “I Made This” meme mean?

This visual highlights the vanity and audacity of someone claiming false ownership. The dominant emotion is irony towards the absurdity of lying. It is used to point out copycats, whether artists or online creators. The tone remains light yet critical, turning a serious accusation into a simple and punchy visual joke.

Where does the “I Made This” meme come from?

The original comic was published by artist Nedroid (Anthony Clark) on Tumblr on January 30, 2013. Titled “The Internet,” it features two simple characters exchanging an unknown object. One claims creation, the other repeats the phrase after receiving it. The gag spread massively on Tumblr and Imgur. A repost by user mousestar on March 9, 2013, exceeded 2.3 million views. The original title disappeared in favor of the catchy name. The meme became a universal symbol for denouncing digital plagiarism due to its graphic simplicity.
