Meme lore

What is the You Made This? I Made This meme?

This three-panel Nedroid-style comic is used to joke about plagiarism, reposting, stolen credit, or someone taking ownership of another person’s work. The caption format can also be adapted to situations where an idea, problem, or consequence is passed along and immediately claimed by someone else.

Origin & history

The image is commonly circulated as a Nedroid comic template, though the precise original publication context and date are unclear. Its spread as a meme comes from the simple repeated-credit gag and the recognizable three-panel structure.

The drawing is associated with the Nedroid webcomic and its minimalist rounded-character artwork. The exact source post or first meme circulation is unclear, so the template is best described by its recurring dialogue and visual sequence rather than a specific viral origin.
