# Zucc Zucc is a nickname for Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg that merged with the "succ" meme in 2016 to become shorthand for being screwed over by Facebook. The term bubbled up through Tumblr and Facebook meme pages, then exploded during Zuckerberg's robotic 2018 Senate testimony to become one of the signature Mark Zuckerberg memes of the Cambridge Analytica era. ## Origin The groundwork was laid on November 3, 2007, when Urban Dictionary user Bentheguyfromcambridge submitted the first entry for "Zuckerberg"[3]. The "succ" half came from a May 22, 2014 Tumblr post by user woodmeat reading "she succ me thru my boxers," which seeded the Weird Facebook "succ" format over the next two years[3]. The two strands collided in May 2016. On May 27, 2016, the Facebook page "Fucc the Zucc" launched with image macros and photoshopped pictures of Zuckerberg, the earliest documented use of "Zucc" as a standalone handle for him[3]. No single creator for the format is confirmed; it emerged out of the Weird Facebook meme-page scene rather than from one artist. - **Platform:** Facebook / Tumblr (viral spread) - **Creator:** Unknown - **Date:** 2016 ## Overview The joke runs on two layers. First, it portrays Mark Zuckerberg as an uncanny, lizard-adjacent android who processes human emotion wrong, a bit visible in his Urban Dictionary entries that warn communication "may be fatal"[6]. Second, it leans on the pun with "succ," a Weird Facebook spelling of "suck," that was being used as a verb for having a page or post deplatformed by Facebook moderation[3]. Typical Zucc posts are photoshopped portraits of Zuckerberg with wide, unblinking eyes or awkward body language, often paired with the single-word caption "Zucc"[3]. The format also works as a verb ("you've been zucc'd") after Facebook's crackdowns on fringe meme pages, which gave the word a specific insider meaning inside Weird Facebook circles[3]. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### What is Zucc?
