About
Me and My People Are Leaving is a memorable quote that comes from the character Rick Grimes (portrayed by Andrew Lincoln) in the TV series The Walking Dead. Beginning in mid-May 2023, the line began seeing use as an audio meme format in TikTok lip dubs to signal when something happens that would make someone want to leave an area. It is also notably used in the When the Function Doesn't Have X meme.
Origin
