About

"Intelligent, Nihilistic and with a Wicked Sense of Humor" is a copypasta typically used as a tongue-in-cheek way of comparing oneself to a fictional character.

Origin

On July 23rd, 2014, an anonymous 4chan user started a thread^[1] on the /v/ (video games) board, asking other users to post video game characters that remind them of themselves. The original post featured a picture of the antagonist Kefka from the 1994 SNES role-playing game Final Fantasy VI, whom the poster described as "intelligent, nihilistic and with a wicked sense of humor."

For me it's Kefka – intelligent, nihilistic and with a wicked sense of humor.
