About
Baby I Miss You So Much, also known as I Just Miss You, is an exploitable image macro series depicting a man and woman lying in bed video chatting, where the woman asks why he’s crying, to which he replies, “Because I also miss you,” while watching something else in the background that actually makes him sad. The format is typically used by replacing the man’s screen in the last image with sad scenes from various movies or TV shows, but also other things people miss or have fond memories of.
Origin
The original image that the meme uses comes from Chilean illustrator and webcomic artist Philip Kooper, who uploaded the comic to his Instagram[1] account on March 23rd, 2020. In the original (seen below), the man and woman can be seen lying in bed while video chatting, and when the scene switches from her perspective to his, the man can be seen watching porn in the background of his screen during the call.
Spread
In the following days and weeks, the comic circulated around Spanish-speaking meme creators who used the two-panel comic as an exploitable. One such example comes from Twitter[2] user KaozOneCL, who tweeted a variant replacing the screen with a livestream of Revenant on March 30th, 2020. The tweet (shown below) received over 1,500 likes and 252 retweets.
On May 25th, 2020, another version of the comic featuring an additional panel added in the middle of the format edited to show the man crying appeared on Reddit, seen in a post from Redditor[3] amenotekijara to the r/dankmemes sub. The meme (seen below) received over 92,600 upvotes, 356 comments and several Reddit awards.
Redditor[4] dankbob_memepants posted another variant on May 25th, 2020, to the r/MemeEconomy sub, helping to spread the format. The post (shown below) was upvoted over 22,500 times and commented on 270 times.
