About
I'm At Soup, also known as Soup Store, is an animated meme in which two characters are shown yelling at each other over a phone call: One character requires another's presence, but the other is occupied with shopping for clothes and can't find anything but soup. As the former character instigates the other character's search, it's discovered that the latter is in the soup store.
Origin
The skit was first created in an abridged parody of Code Geass – called Code MENT – for its sixteenth episode, uploaded to YouTube on May 2nd, 2015 by PurpleEyesWTF.[1] A snippet of the scene was posted on May 4th, 2015 by YouTuber AndeePasta, gaining over 3 million views.
(Lelouch Lamperouge, from his dining room, calls Suzaku Kururugi on a cell phone. Suzaku answers his cell phone in a grocery store.)
Lelouch: Hello?
Suzaku: Hey, what's up?
Lelouch: I need your help, can you come here?
Suzaku: Uh, I can't, I'm buying clothes.
Lelouch: Alright, well hurry up and come over here.
Suzaku: I can't find them.
Lelouch: What do you mean you can't find them?
Suzaku: I can't find them, there's only soup.
Lelouch: What do you mean there's only soup?
Suzaku: It means there's only soup!
Lelouch: Well then get out of the soup isle!
Suzaku: Alright you don't have to shout at me!
(Suzaku walks down an isle.)
Suzaku: There's more soup!
Lelouch: What do you mean there's more soup?
Suzaku: There's just more soup!
Lelouch: Go into the next isle!
Suzaku: There's still soup!
Lelouch: Where are you right now?
