# Sarcastic Bro The Sarcastic Bro character launched on Facebook in November 2016 as the mascot of a comedy page whose corny one-liner memes pulled in millions of likes and just as much mockery. Reddit's /r/comedycemetery grabbed the image within weeks, and by 2018 the suited bitmoji-style figure had jumped into deep-fried remixes and 'This Is So Sad' shitposts. ## Origin The Sarcastic Bro Facebook page launched on November 7, 2016, with a bitmoji-style mascot of a suited man in sunglasses at the center of its image macros[2]. The page went on to collect more than 3.3 million likes trading in short, sarcasm-heavy one-liner memes, and the artwork itself resembles Bitstrips/Bitmoji output rather than the work of an identified illustrator[2]. The term 'sarcastic bro' predates the page as internet slang, with Urban Dictionary defining it as 'a person that over-uses the term bro sarcastically'[1]. The meme, though, takes its name and visual identity from the Facebook mascot, not the older slang usage[2]. - **Platform:** Facebook (source creation) / Reddit (viral spread) - **Creator:** Unknown (The Sarcastic Bro Facebook page) - **Date:** 2016 ## Overview The Sarcastic Bro character is a bitmoji-style illustration of a well-groomed man in a black suit and sunglasses, usually paired with a punchy one-liner caption that reads like a rejected greeting-card joke[2]. The Facebook page built around him pumps out original image macros leaning on tired sarcasm setups (dad-joke twists on relationships, work, and dating), and the mismatch between the slick mascot art and the flat writing is exactly why other communities adopted the character as a running joke[2]. On Reddit, Sarcastic Bro works less as a punchline than as a signal. When he shows up in a /r/comedycemetery or /r/comedynecrophilia post, the joke is that this Facebook-era image macro exists at all[2]. Later remix formats keep the character but strip the sincerity, dropping him onto absurd 'This Is So Sad, [X] hit [Y] likes' captions and deep-fried edits with unrelated overlay text[2]. ## How to Use Common convention pairs the Sarcastic Bro portrait with a 'this post gets X likes and [absurd outcome]' caption, often modeled on the 5ever copypasta. Variants typically swap the target of 'likes' for unrelated nouns (for example, 'faculty and staff') for surreal effect, and deep-fried versions add heavy image distortion plus unrelated overlay text. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### What is Sarcastic Bro?
