Forums / Discussion / Meme Research

After Deadparrot posted this image here…

I became curious what this was referencing exactly. I remembered hearing that single sentence "NO SOUP 4 U" used several times by various people since 2002 in order to express denial of something towards someone so maybe it's a meme of some kind

But to my surprise: KYM has nothing on it. This is despite the fact that the meme has been naturally used on the KYM forums numerous times over the past years.

I had to google the phrase to discovered that it's a scene from a 1995 Sienfield episode "The Soup Nazi" which already has it's own Wikipedia page. Furthermore, right on the first page on Google; I could see that it was already noted by UrbanDictionary, Memegenerator and Tumblr

Millions of image macro's exist for it already

Does this deserve an article?

If it does, I request editorship

It doesn't. I encourage you to add it yourself.

NEXT!

It doesn't deserve an article but you want me to add it anyway? Well okay then

Well it does seem to be a widely known phrase and it has certainly been around for a while. I personally recall references to it as far back as I can remember

While interest in Sienfield has died down, interest in the phrase itself has remained strong.

New entry here

Thanks man, looks good!

There's still some cleanup to do and plenty more imagery to add. But I hope others can help me with that research. I need to start focusing on other things today.

I would love to find an example of the meme in action. There are some examples of it being used right here on KYM but I cant find anything outside of it, probably because of how old the meme is and how really hard it is to search forums.

Any help in spotting one would be fantastic

As an internet meme? Probably almost as old as the show, it's continuously been a rather popular/notable part from that show.
