About
Am I Disabled? is a reaction image of Homer Simpson from The Simpsons reading a book titled "Am I Disabled?" The image is used as a self-deprecating reaction image when the poster discovers they enjoy something they believe is beneath them.
Origin
The image comes from Season 7, Episode 7 of The Simpsons, "King-Size Homer," which aired November 5th, 1995.[1] Early in the episode, Homer attempts to get on disability so that he can work from home, and reads a book called "Am I Disabled?" to see what are his options for becoming legally disabled.
On February 26th, 2013, lGillipollin uploaded a Demotivational Poster joke using the image to the Spanish site Demotivacion.es,[2] marking one of the earliest times the picture was used in a meme format (shown below).
Spread
The picture began being used as a reaction image in late 2016 and early 2017. On October 9th, 2016, the picture was posted to /r/AirForce, where a user used it complaining about his TAPS class.[6] On November 20th, 2016, it was posted to /r/me_irl.[3] On December 14th, the template was uploaded to memegenerator.[4] On January 29th, 2017, a variation that read "When you accidentally upvote a normie meme" was posted to /r/MemeEconomy,[5] where it gained 659 points (shown below).
