The 'I've Never Met This Man In My Life' meme originates from the 2017 Marvel Cinematic Universe film 'Thor: Ragnarok.' In the scene, Thor is captured and brought before the Grandmaster, where he spots his brother Loki sitting comfortably in the VIP section. When Thor calls out to him for help, Loki, desperate to maintain his social standing, famously tells the Grandmaster that he has never met Thor before. The meme is widely used to humorously depict situations where someone wants to distance themselves from an embarrassing friend, a controversial figure, or an awkward past version of themselves. It perfectly captures the essence of feigned ignorance and social betrayal.
