About

Smug Jug refers to a green ceramic jug with a smug-looking face on one side of it. The Smug Jug was first photographed in a store and posted to Tumblr in 2017, with animated 3D GIFs of the jug appearing online in 2023. Smug Jug went on to inspire memes and fan art on Tumblr and X / Twitter in 2023 and early 2024.

On August 25th, 2017, Tumblr[1] user FancyBroom posted an image of a green ceramic jug with a face protruding from it. The image was captioned, "Me: I'm not going to turn into a hand made clay jug tonight ! / Me after 7 tequila shots." The post gathered over 290,000 notes in six years.
