A clip from an episode of Cartoon Network's animated series The Amazing World of Gumball is going viral as a TikTok meme. The audio in question has Darwin saying, "Upset because of a certain someone, they know who they are."

In the scene, the show's characters Gumball and Darwin are reading a status update from one of their classmates. They're not thrilled about the comment, which seems to be directed at them. "Stop posting mysterious status updates when we have no idea who you're talking about," Gumball angrily replied.

The old cartoon clip is resonating with viewers today, but why? How did this sound become a meme in May 2025, and how are creators using it? Let's explain.

What Episode Of 'Gumball' Is The 'Upset Because Of A Certain Someone' Scene From?

The clip used in the meme of Gumball and Darwin cyberbullying their classmates is from season 2, episode 31 of The Amazing World of Gumball, titled "The Voice."

The episode starts with the boys responding to their classmates on Elmore Plus, their school's version of social media. They read one post from one of their friends, Leslie, who wrote, "Upset because of a certain someone, they know who they are." Leslie was subtweeting them.

It made Gumball angry, and he replied, "Stop posting mysterious status updates when we have no idea who you're talking about."

Where Did The 'Upset Because Of A Certain Someone' Meme Come From?

Last month, a TikToker named @ladygawa_ posted the clip, adding a caption about people using Instagram's "Notes" feature in a similar way.

The meme resonated with a lot of people because it seemingly touched on a previously unspoken cliché about people trauma dumping on the recently added Instagram feature.

What Are Some More 'Upset Because Of A Certain Someone, They Know Who They Are' Memes?

Since the first meme, many people on TikTok have been using the original audio for their own posts. Many of the memes are still about Instagram Notes and the people who post "mysterious status updates" on other sites.

The trend has also evolved to screen-recorded skits in which people record themselves texting their friends the quote alongside Gumball and Darwin's soundbite.

Others have made "Accuracy Reenactments" of the original sound, proving that there's more wiggle room as the trend extends into June.

Gumball is one of those cartoons that has slowly gained memes over the past decade. It's not quite at SpongeBob SquarePants or Family Guy levels just yet, but it's getting there.

Notable Gumball memes include I Think We All Know Where This Is Going and Richard's "I'm a Bun" song, among many others.
