The 'Am I a Joke To You?' meme features a screenshot of the character Kumkani Phakade from the popular South African soap opera 'Generations: The Legacy.' The image gained massive international traction in 2018 as a reaction to situations where someone feels completely overlooked, disrespected, or ignored. It is typically used to highlight the irony of a person’s efforts being disregarded by others, often in a humorous or self-deprecating way. The character’s stern, deadpan expression perfectly captures the feeling of standing your ground while being treated like an afterthought, making it one of the most relatable reaction images on the internet.
