The 'I've Played These Games Before' meme is a popular reaction image used to signal that the creator is wise to someone’s manipulation, excuses, or predictable behavior. Often featuring the characters Tulio and Miguel from the 2000 DreamWorks film 'The Road to El Dorado,' the line captures a sense of savvy awareness and a refusal to be fooled. It gained widespread traction on social media platforms like Twitter and Reddit as a way to mock common social tactics, gaslighting, or repetitive marketing gimmicks. Whether it is used in a relationship context or to call out corporate tropes, the meme resonates because it perfectly embodies the satisfying moment of being one step ahead of a person who thinks they are being clever.
