# That Wasn't Very Cash Money of You That Wasn't Very Cash Money of You is a catchphrase paired with a black-and-white drawing of Sayaka Miki from Puella Magi Madoka Magica wearing clip-art sunglasses. First posted to Tumblr in January 2014, it grew into an exploitable where all kinds of anime and cartoon characters get the same shades and deliver the line as a mock-serious call-out for uncool behavior. ## Origin On January 26, 2014, Tumblr user things-in-sunglasses posted the original Sayaka Miki edit captioned with the phrase, and the post picked up more than 106,000 notes over the following four years[1]. The Tumblr, as the handle suggests, was dedicated to pasting sunglasses onto characters, so the Sayaka image fit the account's ongoing bit. The underlying artwork may have been adapted from an earlier ungla­ssed version of Sayaka. The earliest documented copy of that sunglasses-free image was uploaded to the Allspark forums on March 13, 2014, after the meme edit was already circulating[2]. - **Platform:** Tumblr (origin) / Reddit (2018 revival) - **Creator:** things-in-sunglasses (Tumblr) - **Date:** 2014 ## Overview The joke works on the mismatch between a dour black-and-white anime crop and the deliberately corny slang line, where "cash money" stands in for "cool"[3]. The base image is Sayaka Miki from Puella Magi Madoka Magica wearing pasted-on shutter shades, and the format is treated as an exploitable that any brooding character can be dropped into[4]. Edits swap Sayaka out for other properties while keeping the sunglasses gimmick and the catchphrase intact, from Fire Emblem's Anna to a stomping Godzilla[4]. Because both the shades and the line are cheap to reproduce, the template is friendly to low-effort image edits, animated GIFs, and text-only quote posts. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### What is That Wasn't Very Cash Money of You?
