Meme lore

What is the It's Me Again, Margaret meme?

It's Me Again, Margaret shows Ray Stevens as the unwanted caller from the comedy song of the same name. The top caption delivers the caller's recognizable reappearance or opening question; the bottom caption reveals the oddly persistent request, reminder, or escalation. The humor depends on making the caller much too familiar and much too committed to a small, specific concern.

Origin & history

Ray Stevens released his recording of "It's Me Again, Margaret" in 1984, and the song became associated with his phone-booth portrayal of its recurring caller. The available evidence does not establish when this particular still first became an image-macro template or which early post standardized its top-and-bottom caption layout.

The image depicts country-comedy performer Ray Stevens in the vintage telephone-booth persona associated with his 1984 recording of "It's Me Again, Margaret," a Paul Craft song about an obscene phone caller. The exact photographer and first publication of this black-and-white still are unclear; it appears to be promotional or performance imagery from the song's era.

How the joke works

Top box: write the caller's too-familiar return or greeting. Bottom box: reveal the specific reminder, question, or petty agenda that makes the repeated call absurd.

Tone: persistent, theatrical, and mischievously intrusive

Caption tips

  • Make the opening feel like the caller assumes this is an ongoing relationship.
  • Give the bottom caption a harmless but unnervingly specific purpose for calling again.
  • Keep the top line short enough to preserve the hat and rotary phone, and keep the bottom line clear of the figure.
  • Two unrelated top-and-bottom labels with no recurring-caller relationship
  • A generic phone-call joke with no familiar return or specific agenda
  • Long captions that hide Ray Stevens's face, phone receiver, or booth
  • Treating the image as a generic reaction portrait rather than an intrusive caller
