TL;DR

"Me and Who?" is a catchphrase posted alongside images or videos depicting a desirable relationship dynamic, with the poster implying they want someone to share that experience with.

Overview

"Me and Who?" works as a two-part format: a user posts an image or video showing two people (or characters, or even objects) in some kind of relationship dynamic, then captions it with "me and who?" The question implies the poster wants to replicate what's shown but doesn't have a partner to do it with1. Alternatively, users tag friends or mutuals to ask whether their relationship matches the depicted scenario2.

The format is wide open in terms of source material. Early versions leaned heavily into romantic or sexual imagery, but as the meme spread, people started using everything from anime screenshots to cursed images to wholesome illustrations. The only constant is the caption itself and the implied longing behind it.

The exact first use of "me and who?" as a social media caption is unknown, but the phrase appeared in Twitter posts showcasing relationship dynamics as early as March 20202. On March 20, 2020, Twitter user @ghostgrlkat posted one of the earliest versions to gain significant traction, picking up over 300 likes2. Two weeks later, on April 3, 2020, @ujustgotuwued posted what appears to be the first tweet explicitly using the "me and who?" phrasing to go viral, earning over 9,000 likes2.

Both of these early posts used the format for hornyposting, setting the tone for the meme's first several months2.

How It Spread

Through mid-2020, "me and who?" maintained steady popularity on Twitter. A July 3, 2020, tweet by @digitalrem pulled in over 4,300 retweets and 22,200 likes. As the year went on, the format gradually shifted from strictly NSFW territory toward more humorous applications. Users started pairing the caption with memes, absurd imagery, and non-romantic scenarios.

The September 30, 2020, tweet by @GTE00 marked a turning point. Using a Forehead Touch Perspective image, the post racked up 27,400 retweets and 131,200 likes, making it one of the biggest "me and who?" posts of the year.

January 2021 brought the real breakout. Following several viral versions posted in late December 2020, the format surged across Twitter. On January 7, @deadbodyonline posted a version that hit 8,500 retweets and 38,700 likes. Six days later, @wormsinabrain topped that with 19,300 retweets and 89,300 likes.

Throughout 2021, the format stayed popular with an increasingly diverse range of source imagery, including SFW and NSFW art, blessed and cursed images, short videos, and other meme formats. The phrase also spread to other platforms including Instagram, TikTok, and Reddit, where users adapted it to platform-specific content styles. Urban Dictionary entries defining the phrase reflect its widespread recognition.

How to Use This Meme

3

Post it. The implied meaning is "I want this, but I don't have someone to do it with."

Fun Facts

The format started almost entirely as hornyposting before the humor community adopted it for broader use.

@GTE00's Forehead Touch Perspective version got more engagement than any other single "me and who?" tweet, with over 131,000 likes.
