On the internet, it is the simplest things that make you laugh harder. Each day, there are many online posts, but only a few become the viral social media trend. This time, it is the ‘RIP You Would Have Loved’ funny meme trend. What is the meme trend all about? A slightly morbid, the Twitter trend is thinking of what modern-day things a few famous historical figures would have loved. From what started with the father of modern psychology, Sigmund Freud now consists of many other historians, with netizens humorously connecting them with things they'd have loved’ in the present time. Let us know how it all started before becoming the butt of all jokes with netizens reimagining historians.
How Did It Start?
Social media funny meme trends have always been a hit, with templates being used for longer. For ‘RIP You Would Have Loved’ trend, many outlets noted its originality on TikTok. A user, Isaac H.P., created a video in January about Henry VIII. Isaac said in the TikTok video that it’s a shame Henry VIII didn’t live longer because he would have loved watching Alvin and The Chipmunks. Yes, you that right! As much as the meme may sound silly, there should be at least the slightest connection while comparing the historical legend in recent times. However, Know Your Meme noted that the ‘RIP Would Have Loved’ format has been around since late 2020, with the first documented use of the format credit to a Twitter user.
Soon, people started comparing what Sigmund Freud would have loved in the present times. They are hilarious and so relatable! He probably would have loved the show ‘How I Met Your Mother.’
