Made With Mematic
When producing a meme using the free version Mematic, the app includes a watermark that reads "Made With Mematic." If users generate a meme in the pro version, there is no watermark. The phrase became a catchphrase, which meme creators used to mock the popularity and prevalence of the application. For example, on February 11th, 2019, Redditor [3] NetFelix25 post Gru's Plan that referenced the phrase (shown below, left).
Over time, memers began to parody the watermark, turning it into a phrasal template that users the form "Made with X." On March 10th, Redditor[4] maestrul_dumelor posted an image of SpongeBob SquarePants meme with the watermark "Made with visible frustration." The post received more than 23,000 points (95% upvoted) and 275 comments in less than one month (shown below, center).
About two weeks later, on May 23rd, Redditor[5] adong7 posted a Detective Pikachu meme with the watermark "made with depression." Within 24 hours, the post received more than 11,000 points (97% upvoted) and 50 comments (shown below, right).
