The popular 2010s sitcom The Middle has become a treasure trove for memes on TikTok recently, and the most recent example is the "We Just Got 8 Free Pizzas" format.

The memes are based on a scene from a 2017 episode of the show, and they're taking a lot of inspiration from January 2025's The Middle meme trend, "SueTok."

So what exactly is the context behind the "eight free pizzas" scene and how is it being used as a meme on TikTok? Here's what you need to know.

What Is The 'We Just Got 8 Free Pizzas' Meme?

The Middle is a sitcom that ran from 2009 to 2018 that follows the lower-middle-class Heck family. In season 8, episode 22, titled "The Final Final," the address numbers on the Heck house are mixed up with their neighbor's, resulting in some good (and bad) fortune for the Hecks.

In one scene, thanks to the address switch-up, the Hecks get eight free pizzas delivered to their house. Frankie Heck picks up the pizzas, brings them into the living room and announces, "We just got eight free pizzas," followed by her son Brick laughing and celebrating.

In February 2025, TikToker @_thomasbae_ posted an edit of this scene that distorts the video and audio, garnering over a million views in a month.

Then, in early March, TikToker @alex_bauw posted a very similar edit, sparking a wave of memes.

How Is 'We Just Got 8 Free Pizzas' Used In Memes?

The meme became notably popularized on TikTok in March 2025. The format borrows a lot of tactics from "SueTok," a meme trend that went viral in January and had users editing another scene from The Middle.

The idea is to edit the scene in absurd and nonsensical ways by degrading the audio and visuals and adding effects to the scene, like laser eyes.

The prevalence of the edits is also inspiring memes referencing the popularity of the meme, with many outside-the-know sharing their confusion about what exactly it means.

Some TikTokers are also recreating and reenacting the scene, including Brick Heck's dance and laugh, which are at the center of many of the most viral examples of the trend.
