  1. The “he just like me fr” meme comes from a panel in "You & Crappy Movies,” the 93rd chapter of Tatsuki Fujimoto’s hit manga, Chainsaw Man . In the meme Denji, the main character, grabs a TV while sobbing and exclaims that the person on screen is “literally him.”
    • Denji, AKA Chainsaw Man, is a touch-starved, perverted, lonely teenager who fights demons for one reason: to have a chance to get intimate with girls.
    • Originally Denji grabs a TV while exclaiming “Oh my gaw….they really…the ladies really love me! They love meeeee!”
  2. Denji is an extremely emotive character from one of the most popular mangas/animes of the 2020s, which makes him a perfect reaction meme subject. [1] Twitter user @DatChaosGuy recaptioned the panel, and on May 30, 2021 @datboyjozu posted it as a reaction image.
    • It was archived by @reactjpg on July 12, 2021.

  3. As “he just like me fr” gained popularity on Twitter, Tumblr, Reddit, and other forum sites, it was edited to be an “exploitable” meme, or a meme that can be changed to fit a more specific situation. [2] The panels were either redrawn with new characters or had other characters edited over the old ones.
    • The exploitable memes sometimes put other characters’ faces over Denji’s or add extra panels above the meme.

  1. If you see an image or post that makes you think “Wow, I do that” (seriously or not), comment with this meme. For example, if someone tweets “Just downed a seltzer so fast that I threw up,” you could respond with this image.
  2. If you see something and think that a character or celebrity would relate to it, edit their face over Denji’s and use the new meme as a reaction image. [3] You can also attach the meme to the bottom of another image.
    • For example, if you had a picture of a cool-guy time traveler (like Matthew McConaughey in Interstellar ), you could add the “he just like me fr” meme under it with Fry from Futurama edited over Denji.
    • You can also redraw the panels to make your own meme .

“Literally Me” & Related Memes

  1. “Literally me” is a meme genre that spawned from a 4chan copypasta, “literally me.” The copypasta text is pasted below pictures of characters that the poster claims to be literally them. [4] It’s used ironically, however, since it’s usually pasted under animated, unrelatable characters.
    • Copypasta refers to a story or block of text that’s copy-pasted on forums and social media sites. [5]
  2. “Literally me guys,” like Rick from Rick and Morty , Driver from Drive , Joker from Joker , and Guts from Berserk are the most common subjects of “Literally me” memes. [6] They’re often unrelatable to normal people and follow the Sigma male archetype.
    • These characters are eccentric loners who have difficulties relating to other people themselves.
  3. “Oh man…he’s just like me!” is a drawing of a neckbeard—a man with a scraggly beard who’s considered a loser—looking at a TV screen while saying “Oh man…he’s just like me!” Usually, the image on screen is of someone unrelatable, like a superhero or celebrity. [7]

FR and FRFR

  1. “Fr” and “frfr” come from African American Vernacular English and both mean “for real.” Both acronyms are used on the internet to tell someone that what you said is really true. [8] It’s also just used to replace “for real” when texting.
    • That was an insane test fr.
    • I’m like, fr tired right now.
    • That was scary fr.
  2. Just like the words “for real,” you can let people know that you see what they’re saying by texting them “fr” to agree with something.
    • I can’t believe that just happened.
      Fr dude, that’s messed up.
    • That concert was amazing!
      OMG fr I loved it.
    • I can’t stand our landlord.
      Fr bro…we have to find a new place to live.
  3. If you want to really let someone know that something is true, use frfr instead. Use it sparingly though, or it’ll lose its oomph. [9]
    • I just got the job!
      Fr?
      Frfr!!!
    • I can’t take this anymore frfr.
