Imagine Having Beef With Me, I'm Just a Silly Little Guy meme example featuring the copypasta quote.

About

I'm Just a Silly Little Guy refers to a copypasta in which one argues that nobody in their right mind would feud with them because they are merely "a silly little guy." The format gained virality on TikTok in September 2021 and was later used as a caption for images of cute and innocuous yet mischievous characters, with a voiced version by actor Gianni Matragrano gaining viral spread in October that year.

Origin

In September 2021, a TikTok trend in which people argued that nobody should have a beef with them because they consider themselves harmless and "the little guy" gained popularity. On September 19th, 2021, TikTokers[1][2] @girlsjuswannahavfun and @mads_0812 posted two viral TikToks, set to a mashup of "Tongue Tied" and "223s" by Adam Oh based on the trend, which gained over 511,900 likes and 388,500 likes, respectively, in roughly five months (shown below, left and right).

On September 25th, 2021, TikToker[3] @ottilie.com posted a TikTok captioned, "Imagine having beef with me, I'm just a funny jokester. A silly little guy. You're gonna have beef with a silly little guy? For shame." The video gained over 147,900 views and 25,500 likes in five months (shown below).

In the following weeks, the image went viral on social media through reposts on iFunny[5][6] and other social media.

On October 21st, voice actor Gianni Matragrano posted a voiced version of @ottilie.com's TikTok, using the caption together with a picture of a cute-looking rodent. The post gained over 865,000 views on YouTube, 217,000 views on Twitter and 390 likes on iFunny in four months (shown below).



In the following months, Matragrano's dub was used as source material for memes, being combined with animations of various characters. For example, on December 9th, 2021, YouTuber[7] Seek's Animations and Stuff posted a Deltarune meme that gained over 62,000 views in two months (shown below).
