Fuck Me Right

2012image macroclassic

"Fuck Me Right" is an image macro featuring Jonah Hill's Seth from the 2007 film Superbad, paired with a self-deprecating top caption and the bottom line "Fuck me, right?". The template broke through on Reddit in March 2012 and spread across FunnyJunk, 9gag, Quickmeme and Tumblr through that summer.

Overview

"Fuck Me Right" is an image macro built around a screen capture of Jonah Hill as Seth in the 2007 film Superbad, mouth open in a pained, sarcastic laugh1. The top caption sets up an unpopular opinion, an awkward confession, or a minor personal failure, and the bottom caption always reads "Fuck me, right?"2 The joke is self-deprecating resignation, with the poster admitting they know their take will get flamed before anyone else can say it.

The template took off across image-macro sites in 2012, especially on Reddit's advice-animals-style boards, where the confession plus punchline structure fit the community's tone1. The phrase itself was already circulating as a standalone catchphrase for embarrassing luck and self-inflicted misfortune4.

How It Spread

The image-macro version broke through on March 9th, 2012, when Redditor dwydwyy posted a Jonah Hill capture to r/AdviceAnimals with the caption "Tries to make frontpage without a Kony meme / Fuck me, right?", a jab at the flood of Kony 2012 posts that week. The submission cleared 11,800 upvotes and 120 comments before archival1.

The following months set the format's canonical uses. On August 12th, 2012, a Facebook page for the phrase went up, followed the next day by FunnyJunk user lostfaux's "I like to watch english dubbed anime / Fuck me, right?" macro, and on August 29th by 9gag user n_nobody's "P*rn Logic" post pairing a Sasha Grey still with "My car broke down / Fuck me, right?" for a literal reading of the line3.

By October 12th, 2012, Quickmeme was hosting several parallel "Fuck Me Right" pages carrying more than 1,400, 790, and 490 submissions respectively, while Tumblr users filed their own versions under the #fuck me right tag3. The catchphrase itself stuck around in casual online chat well after the image-macro peak, used any time someone wanted to preempt criticism of a bad take4.

How to Use This Meme

Overlay the Jonah Hill screen capture from Superbad with two lines of caption. The top line typically states an unpopular opinion, a mild confession, or a dumb decision the poster made. The bottom line always reads "Fuck me, right?", framing the top line as something the internet is about to pile on. Users often flip the joke by using the bottom line in a literal sense, as with the 9gag "P*rn Logic" version, where a mundane setup sets up the phrase as an actual sexual proposition3.
