# My Plug Weird But He Chill "My Plug Weird But He Chill" is an image macro meme where photos of strange or unusual-looking people are paired with some variation of the caption "yooo my plug weird asf but he chill," with "plug" being slang for a drug dealer. The format started on iFunny in August 2020 and picked up steam through Instagram and TikTok over the following years, with the joke centered on the idea that your dealer might look bizarre but is still a reliable connect. ## Origin On August 8, 2020, iFunny user LuciAnal posted what appears to be the earliest version of the meme. The image showed a man standing outside with the caption: "My new plug. He's normally chill but sometimes he gets mad and starts roasting me and doesn't sell me shit😭😭😭." The post picked up around 190 smiles over the next three years[1]. A few weeks later, on August 22, 2020, Twitter user @deeznutsdudete shared a photo of an older Asian man holding a lamp on a boat with the text "Holy shit I just met up with my plug he's weird asf but also chill." That post only got about two likes[3]. Around the same time on August 11, iFunny user okbuddyretardmemer uploaded a video version captioned "holy shit that's my plug he's weird asf but chill," which picked up roughly 10 smiles[2]. The format didn't really take off until August 27, 2021, when Instagram user merciless.sungod posted a new take with the now-iconic caption "yooo my plug weird asf but he chill." That version pulled in over 4,500 likes and became the template that most future iterations followed[3]. - **Platform:** iFunny (original post), Instagram (viral spread) - **Creator:** LuciAnal (original iFunny poster), merciless.sungod (popularized the iconic caption on Instagram) - **Date:** 2020 ## Overview The premise is simple: find the most off-putting, surreal, or just plain weird image of a person (or sometimes a character), then slap a caption on it joking that this is your plug, the person you buy drugs from. The humor comes from the contrast between the obviously abnormal appearance and the casual, accepting tone of the caption. The "plug" could be an oddly posed stranger, a creepy screenshot from an anime, or any image that gives off uncanny energy. What ties all versions together is the laid-back framing: sure, the guy looks unhinged, but he's chill[3]. ## How It Spread After merciless.sungod locked in the standard caption, the meme spread steadily across Instagram. On October 27, 2021, Instagram user ecco2ksdirtytoiletwater posted a version using an image from the manga *Berserk*, which also hit over 4,500 likes[3]. The format saw a second wave of attention in mid-2022. On July 12, Instagram user teh.pupper reposted the okbuddyretardmemer video of the Asian man on the dock, and this time it hit over 40,000 views[3]. Three days later, Instagram user nenuhir posted another variation that got around 100 likes. By October 2022, the meme had reached Reddit, with a post to r/Shark_Park earning over 270 upvotes[3]. TikTok gave the meme its biggest single moment. On February 13, 2023, TikToker @mr.pringles.can posted a version that blew up to over 425,000 views in just two months[3]. The jump to TikTok brought the format to a much wider audience beyond the Instagram meme pages where it had been circulating. ## How to Use The format works best when the image is genuinely strange, unsettling, or just absurd. Common approaches include: 1. Find a photo or screenshot of someone (or something) that looks off. The weirder the better. Anime screenshots, oddly lit photos of strangers, and surreal AI-generated images all work. 2. Add a caption along the lines of "yooo my plug weird asf but he chill" or any variation that frames the subject as your drug dealer. 3. The tone should be casual and accepting. The whole joke is that you're not bothered by how strange your plug looks because the product is good and the vibe is fine. ## Fun Facts - The original 2020 post by LuciAnal used a longer, more specific caption about the plug getting mad and refusing to sell. The short "weird but chill" version that went viral didn't show up until over a year later[1][3]. - Twitter user @deeznutsdudete's August 2020 version only got two likes despite being one of the earliest takes on the format[3]. - The meme's biggest single post came not from Instagram, where it grew up, but from TikTok, where @mr.pringles.can's version hit 425,000 views[3]. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### What is "My Plug Weird But He Chill"?
