The 'I'm Glad You Guys Liked Cocky Want Boing Boing Cause It Got Me Fired' meme stems from a series of 2023 TikTok videos by creator Shane Stiles. After a bizarre video of him repeating the phrase 'cocky want boing boing' went viral, Stiles posted a follow-up featuring the now-legendary text overlay explaining that the video's success resulted in his job loss. The meme perfectly captures the irony of achieving internet fame at the cost of real-world stability. It is frequently used to mock people who overshare on social media or to highlight the absurdity of modern viral culture where the most nonsensical content often has the biggest impact on a person's life.
