Your Outie Likes X (also called Learning About Your Outie) is a phrasal template meme pulled from a wellness session scene in Apple TV+'s Severance. Fans use the deadpan Ms. Casey setup to joke about what their hypothetical outside self is really like, and it came back hard on TikTok during Severance season 2 in early 2025.

Overview

Your Outie Likes X, also called Learning About Your Outie, is a phrasal template meme pulled from Apple TV+'s Severance. In the source scene, John Turturro's character Irving sits through a wellness session where Ms. Casey (Dichen Lachman) reads off a list of things his outie (the version of himself outside the office) supposedly enjoys1. Fans took the deadpan setup and ran with it, using the format to joke about their own hypothetical outies.

Posts follow the pattern "Your outie likes X" or "Your outie loves X," with X being a hobby, band, game, or personality quirk. The humor came from the gap between what a person hopes their outside self is like and what the meme claims they actually are2. On TikTok, creators pushed the format into POV skits, often playing an innie who finds out their outie is a loser or has cringe taste6.

How It Spread

The format caught on fast among Severance viewers on Twitter. One day after @bIoach's post, on May 5, 2022, user @tamoorh tweeted the same Ms. Casey screencap with "Your outie likes Bloodborne," gaining more than 1,800 likes3.

The meme went quiet after season 1 wrapped, then came back hard in early 2025 as Severance season 2 pulled in new viewers. On January 19, 2025, TikToker @hunter.hopewell posted a skit about learning his outie's Spotify Wrapped top artist was cringe, racking up over 36,200 likes in about a month4. Nine days later, TikToker @orimab posted a version about finding out her outie is a loser, hitting more than 70,600 likes in 16 days5.

The TikTok wave turned the joke from a still-image caption into full POV skits, with creators acting out the reveal moment when Ms. Casey delivers something unflattering about who they are outside the office6.

How to Use This Meme

Pair the Ms. Casey screencap or a POV-style clip with "Your outie likes ___" or "Your outie loves ___." The blank is typically filled with an activity, artist, game, or trait, and the joke lands hardest when the outie's taste feels uncool or off-brand for the person posting.
