About

"It's a Role Given to Me by the Internet People" is a memorable quote uttered by stock photo model Andras Arato, also known as the meme character Hide the Pain Harold from a TEDx Talk he presented in June 2019.

Origin

On June 25th, 2019, the YouTube account TEDx Talks shared the presentation "Waking up as a meme-hero" by Andras Arato about his experiences as a meme. The post received more than 5.1 million views in less than one year (shown below).


Spread

Days later, on January 28th, Twitter [3] user @markdalgleish tweeted the image with the caption, "When people ask me why I post so many memes." The post received more than 420 likes in less than one year (shown below, left).

The following day Redditor [1] asssmasteur69 shared a screenshot of Arato saying the line with the caption "When my parents ask me what is a memelord." The post received more than 19,000 points (98% upvoted) in less than one year (shown below, center).

On December 7th, Redditor[2] shared a variation with the caption "And why do you believe you deserve to be meme of the decade?" The post received more than 49,000 points (97% upvoted) and 150 comments in less than six months (shown below, right).
