About
George Jetson Is Almost Here or George Jetson's Birthday, August 27th, 2022 refers to memes about The Jetsons protagonist George Jetson's conception and birth, which became popularized in memes in mid-to-late 2021, roughly nine months to a year before his alleged birthday of August 27th, 2022. The memes typically include jokes about how somewhere on Earth, George Jetson is being conceived. The August 27th date is debatable, as some sources list July 31st, 2022, as his birthday.
Origin
On May 23rd, 2021, Tumblr[1] user itswalky posted, "The Jetsons takes place in 2062, and George Jetson is 40 years old, which means that somewhere right now George Jetson is being conceived," gaining over 100,000 notes in six months (shown below). This is the earliest known viral post about George Jetson's conception. On June 13th the post was shared to Facebook,[4] gaining over 58,000 shares and 57,000 reactions in five months.
The meme does not mention Jetson's birthday, which appears to be up for debate. Many memes claim his birthday is August 27nd, 2022, as it was listed on Wikipedia at one point. However, July 31st is also listed as Jetson's birthday on some sites, including the Warner Bros Fandom[2] and Wikipedia.[3]
Spread
In November 2021, nine months before the rough date of George Jetson's birth, memes about his conception and birth increased across social media. On November 12th, 2021, Tumblr[5] user posted a meme joking about his conception, gaining over 60 notes in two weeks (shown below). On November 27th, Twitter[6] user @farfromallover posted "Just a FYI, George Jetson is going to be conceived this weekend," with a screenshot of the character's Wikipedia page preview, gaining over 255,000 likes and 43,000 retweets in three days.
On the same day, Instagram[7] page repostrandy posted a screenshot of the Wikipedia page with a sci-fi-sounding song in the background captioned "HE IS ALMOST HERE," gaining over 289,000 views and 82,000 likes in three days (shown below). It is unknown where the meme is originally reposted from.
