About
Holy Shit I Think I Joined is a subformat of Every Squad Got The memes in which a character comments on accidentally joining a group they do not wish to associate, with the format structured in the style of Robert Downey Jr.'s Comments. Spawned by an ironic Breaking Bad meme, the format gained popularity in fall 2020, achieving a larger spread in July 2021.
Origin
On September 25th, 2021, Redditor[1] Ch33seGromit posted an ironic Breaking Bad meme that combined Every Squad Got The and Robert Downey Jr.'s Comments formats. In the meme, Walter White comments that he accidentally joined a neo-nazi group consisting of 12 racist Saul Goodmans. The post received over 3,900 upvotes in six months (shown below).
Spread
On September 29th, 2020, iFunny[2] user TwinFalls posted the earliest found derivative meme, altering the caption to "Holy shit I think I accidentally joined a black metal super band." The post received over 50 smiles in 10 months (shown below).
