Twitter / X users have always been known for their acid humor and for using the platform to openly disagree with someone else's opinions. The jointure of trying to seem funny and insult a person usually leads to the most insane combination of words ever thought in mankind.

So, we've decided to focus on just one (of many) memorable and creative catchphrases coined by X users that been making the rounds online as of late: The "You Look Easy To Draw" insult.

What Does 'You Look Easy To Draw' Mean?

"You look easy to draw" is a catchphrase known as a rare insult used to make fun of someone with a simple or cartoonish face. The expression was originally coined on March 25th, 2020, when X user @KonMalick5 posted a photo of himself. The following day, X user @sewphy replied to him and said, "U look easy to draw." @KonMalick5 responded, "Try," and then @sewphy replied back with a quick doodle of him. Over two years, @sewphy's drawing gained roughly 5,300 likes, kicking off the initial meme.
