About
Funeral Food Be So Good, continued, I Be Forgetting Who TF Died, refers to a viral video and reaction clip of a man putting food on his plate at a funeral with text reading the aforementioned catchphrase. The video has frequently been used online to show indifference to (and even celebration for) the deaths of celebrities and influencers, predominantly on Twitter / X. The original video was posted in 2023 as an Instagram Reel by user Renegadeshow. He also posted the video to TikTok. Renegadeshow is notably the same man from the I Bring a Sort Of X Vibe to the Y meme.
