The 'Have You Said Thank You Once?' meme features politician J.D. Vance during a confrontational exchange where he questions a critic's lack of gratitude. The clip quickly went viral on social media platforms like X and TikTok, where users repurposed his stern delivery to satirize overly demanding parents, bosses, or public figures who insist on being thanked for the bare minimum. It highlights the awkward tension of political campaigning and has become a go-to reaction image for expressing performative outrage or demanding recognition in mundane, everyday situations.
