About
Drunk Baby is an advice animal image macro series featuring a photograph of an infant sitting next to a pint of beer. The captions typically portray the baby as an intoxicated storyteller mimicking the behavior of older bar patrons.
Origin
The original baby photograph (shown below, left) was submitted to the /r/funny[7] subreddit by user MaryjaneBrewington in a post titled "She tells the worst jokes" on June 25th, 2012. The same day, the first Drunk Baby image macro was submitted by Redditor snicklefritz618 to the /r/AdviceAnimals[1] subreddit, which included the caption "This guy…. / I love this guy" (shown below, right). Within 10 days, the post received over 6,600 up votes and 100 comments.
Spread
On June 26th, 2012, the Internet culture blog Slacktory[2] published an article titled "Drunk Baby: Another Damn Advice Meme", which noted the series' growing presence on Reddit despite Redditor's tendency to get more easily jaded by child-based memes than Tumblr users. The same day, 9gag[10] user heartstorm90 submitted an image macro with the caption "Hey you. Yeah, You. / I totally sucked your wife's tits", receiving over 3,000 Facebook shares within 10 days.
On June 27th, the Internet humor blog UpRoxx[4] published a post titled "Meme Watch: Drunk Bank Is Holding Court At The Bar", including a slideshow of notable examples from the series. The same day, The Huffington Post[5] published an article titled "Drunk Baby Is Totally Going To Regret This Tomorrow" and the Internet humor site The FW[6] listed Drunk Baby in their "Funniest Memes of the Week" post. On June 29th, a Facebook[9] page for "Drunk Baby" was created, which received over 50 likes within one week. The meme has continued to spread on Tumblr[8] under the tag "#drunk baby." As of July 6th, 2012, the Drunk Baby Quickmeme[3] page has accumulated over 1,550 submissions.
