Intelligent, Nihilistic and with a Wicked Sense of Humor
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."
ITT: Characters that remind you of yourselfFor me it's Kefka – intelligent, nihilistic and with a wicked sense of humor.
Spread
On September 16th, 2014, the quote was used by another 4chan user comparing himself to the villain Joker from the Batman franchise. On November 7th, the copypasta was referenced with other fictional characters, including Max Payne[3], Legate Lanius[4] from Fallout New Vegas, Kyle Hyde[5] from Hotel Dusk: Room 215 and Master Chief[6] from Halo series. On Febuary 8th, 2015, Redditor BaratheonFire posted a screencap featuring several posts using the copypasta from a thread on 4chan's /a/ (anime) board, which gathered over 600 votes (92% upvoted) in the first month.
