About
Dude, Benson Is Gonna Be So Pissed is a catchphrase from the Cartoon Network series Regular Show used in memes that show Mordecai and Rigby in disastrous scenarios, imagining how mad their boss Benson is going to be. The jokes are similar to ones made about the dramatic profession of Regular Show episodes. The trend became commonplace on TikTok in 2024, predominantly set to the Regular Show outro song.
Origin
Currently, the first known usage of the meme was a tweet shared by X[1] user @persona_idiot on October 24th, 2022, who wrote, "bensons gonna be pissed," to caption a scene from The End of Evangelion, gaining over 1,500 likes in two years (shown below).
