Kermit the Dog, primarily known as the quirky Italian Greyhound belonging to former YouTuber Jenna Marbles, became an internet sensation for his distinct look and perpetually anxious demeanor. Unlike the Muppet he was named after, this Kermit is famous for 'crying,' shivering, and having a somewhat 'nasty' attitude—a term Jenna used endearingly to describe his dramatic personality. The meme typically uses photos of him looking stressed, bug-eyed, or awkwardly positioned to represent social anxiety, overstimulation, or the feeling of being physically and emotionally fragile. It resonated deeply with pet owners and internet users who relate to his frantic energy, making it a staple for expressing relatable everyday stressors and the urge to tremble in the face of adulting.
