Published October 24, 2026

A fake message from a fictional high school bully named Tanner, who brags about marrying the recipient's crush, earning over 200k a year and driving a Mustang GT. First posted to the r/loltyler1 subreddit in January 2018, the taunt turned into one of the most quoted Twitch copypastas of that year.

Overview

The copypasta opens with the taunt "So you're going by loltyler1 now nerd?" and is written in the voice of a fictional bully named Tanner, who claims he tormented the reader in high school and later married their crush1. He piles on by bragging that he pulls in more than 200k a year and drives a Mustang GT, flexes that became the most quoted lines of the whole message2.

Fans of League of Legends streamer loltyler1 began pasting the text in his Twitch chat and under his clips, where the aggressive-loser-bully voice matched Tyler1's own hyperactive rage persona3. Spin-offs swap the "loltyler1" handle for whichever streamer or Discord user is being roasted, while keeping the Tanner, Mustang and salary beats intact1.

The earliest documented posting of the message is a January 15, 2018 submission titled "bullied1" to the r/loltyler1 subreddit by Redditor jackeyIove, which collected more than 90 points at 95% upvoted and 15 comments1. The post is framed as a message supposedly sent to the streamer, with Tanner recounting how he shoved the reader into lockers and later married their high school crush1.

Know Your Meme notes it was likely first circulated inside Twitch chat before the Reddit archive, given its direct address to loltyler1, but no earlier chat log has surfaced3. The identity of the actual author behind the "Tanner from Highschool" voice is not confirmed, so jackeyIove stands as the earliest known poster rather than the confirmed writer1.

How It Spread

Within weeks of the Reddit post, the text jumped off the loltyler1 subreddit and into general copypasta circulation. On February 1, 2018, a Steam user reposted the full message on their profile, one of the first appearances outside the Tyler1 fanbase3. In March 2018, the message was archived on TwitchQuotes as copypasta #2554, which is where most chat users began copying it from when spamming it in unrelated streams2.

By late summer the lines had drifted far enough from their source that newcomers no longer recognized the reference. On August 31, 2018, Redditor NebEdits asked r/OutOfTheLoop, "Where did the whole 200k a year and drive a mustang joke come from?", a thread that helped document how the Mustang GT and 200k salary brags had detached from loltyler1 and turned into generic flex bait4. From that point the copypasta settled into Twitch's permanent rotation of bully-voice jokes3.
