In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “Taxmaster” is a rare card of the Memes World series 71, number 21058 of the collection, and the 55th 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 “Taxmaster” meme mean?
The humor derives from the stark contrast between Cox's serious, authoritative expression and the absurd contexts in which his image is placed. Users exploit his recognizable look to create surreal edits, often inserting him into fictional or chaotic situations where his professional demeanor becomes funny due to incongruity. It relies on visual recognition rather than specific dialogue.
Where does the “Taxmaster” meme come from?
Patrick Cox serves as the founder and spokesperson for Tax Masters, Inc., an American tax relief company. His television commercials have aired since 2005, depicting him helping people with IRS issues. A specific commercial titled Original Taxmasters Commercial was uploaded to YouTube on March 20, 2012. Another video named TaxCox was published on November 15, 2011. While linked to 4chan and GET thread users, the precise origin of the meme format remains undocumented in available sources. Notably, Saturday Night Live aired a parody sketch featuring Jason Sudeikis as Cox on October 9, 2010. The year 2011 likely marks online circulation, but direct links to the meme's viral start are unknown.
