DUMB AND DUMBER I KNEW IT STARTED WITH AN S THOUGH MEME MAKER

ORIGIN & LORE

Released in the 1994 cult classic comedy 'Dumb and Dumber,' this scene features the legendary duo Lloyd Christmas (Jim Carrey) and Harry Dunne (Jeff Daniels). In the scene, Lloyd has been obsessively searching for 'Mary Samsonite,' only to be told her name is actually Mary Swanson. Instead of admitting he was completely wrong, Lloyd triumphantly exclaims, 'I knew it started with an S though!' to Harry, clinging to the smallest possible win in a sea of failure. This clip has become a staple of internet culture, used to represent 'confident ignorance' or the feeling of being technically close but practically dead wrong. It is the go-to template for situations where someone wants to save face after a massive blunder by focusing on one minor, correct detail. It perfectly captures the relatable human urge to never admit total defeat, no matter how stupid the mistake. Example captions include: 'When you fail the math test but get your name right,' 'Me guessing a movie title and getting the first letter correct,' or 'When she says her name is Sarah after I called her Samantha for an hour.'
