Our sense of humor is always evolving. This means that the way we express that humor, whether it’s through verbal jokes, funny messages, or memes also changes. Sometimes it’s good to look back on older memes to reminisce about how everything evolved. One of the most popular memes back in the day was the “Challenge Accepted” meme.
What is the “Challenge Accepted” meme?
“Challenge accepted” is an expression that is used to express that the speaker is willing to undertake a difficult task. You’ll often see this phrase accompanied by an image of a stick figure crossing his arms with a smug facial expression.
Origins
The “challenge accepted” catchphrase was first popularized by a character named Barney Stinson in the television series “How I Met Your Mother.” He first said this in the show while attempting to seduce an older woman.
In 2010, the rage stick figure that this meme is commonly associated with was posted in a forum thread.
Popularity
The meme quickly showed up in other places on the internet. A Tumble blog called “Fu** Yeah Challenge Accepted Guy” was created, followed by a “Challenge Accepted” Facebook page that racked up 145,000 likes within two years. A meme generator page was also created using the meme format.
