About

Bro Thinks He's in "Top 10 Respectful Moments in Football" is a catchphrase used in parody memes making fun of footballers or soccer players performing acts of "respect" hoping to be featured in "Top 10 respectful moments in football" videos. Although some jokes using the phrase can be traced back to February 2024, it was after retired English footballer Rio Ferdinand's video of himself walking around Real Madrid's badge with the caption "Respect the Badge" that the meme's popularity increased on TikTok in early May 2024 as people recreated his viral video, often pairing the content with Don Pollo sounds.
