The Uncut Jams meme originated from a February 2022 episode of the Call Her Daddy podcast where actress Julia Fox discussed her role in the 2019 film Uncut Gems. When asked if she considered herself Josh Safdie’s muse, she famously responded that she was his muse when he wrote Uncut Jams, mispronouncing the movie title in a uniquely vocal-fried manner. The clip immediately went viral on TikTok, with users lip-syncing to the audio to mock or celebrate overly pretentious attitudes and hilariously specific accomplishments. It has since evolved into a versatile template for situations where one wants to sound sophisticated but ends up sounding absurdly chaotic.
