About

Mock Interrogation refers to a dialogue meme parodying a film trope in which law enforcement officers or criminals holding someone captive attempt to extract information from someone using brutal interrogation methods. In the parodies, the interrogator attempts to get the protagonist to say something relatively benign, which the protagonist refuses to do despite often getting beaten.

Origin

On September 19th, 2014, Tumblr user jobhaver[1] posted a dialogue parodying The X-Files, in which the FBI is trying to get the main character, Mulder, to reveal the location of "space weed." The post gained over 111,000 notes, and was cited by Meme Documentation as the first example of the meme.[2]


secret government agent: tell me right now, do aliens smoke weed mulder: [tied to a chair in a dark room] i wont ever tell you this secret government agent: *punches mulder in the face* what kind of weed do aliens smoke mulder: *spits blood on the agent secret government agent: where can i buy this dank ass space weed mulder: f--- you

Spread

The format spread on Tumblr through several popular posts over the coming months. Some examples include a post by jynerzoremade[3] about love triangles in narratives, gaining over 168,000 notes (shown below, left). Another post by user potologie mocking "bromances" gained over 87,000 notes (shown below, right).
