About

“Will You Shut Up Man,” is a memorable quote uttered by Joe Biden to Donald Trump from the first U.S. presidential debate in 2020. In memes, the image of Biden is used as an exploitable image macro series to express annoyance or irritation, especially as a reaction to someone who won’t stop speaking. In late September and early October 2020, following the debate, the quote and reaction image trended online across most social media platforms.

Origin

The original clip that the meme is pulled from is seen during the first presidential debate between Donald Trump and Joe Biden, which aired on September 29th, 2020. During the debate (featured below), Biden, irritated after being interrupted by Trump, responds to him by saying, “Will you shut up, man. This is so — this is so unpresidential.”

The exact first use of the clip as a meme format is unknown, but the earliest examples appeared online shortly after the debate was aired. One such example was posted on September 29th by the Instagram^[1] account koreantrump (shown below), receiving over 7,100 likes in roughly 36 hours.
