Milhouse Is Not A Meme is one of the internet's most famous meta-jokes, originating on 4chan in the mid-2000s. It started as a forced attempt to make the Simpsons character Milhouse Van Houten a meme, which was met with fierce resistance from users claiming that 'Milhouse is not a meme.' This denial eventually became the joke itself, creating a recursive paradox where the statement 'Milhouse is not a meme' became a meme in its own right. It is widely regarded as a landmark moment in internet culture, illustrating how forced memes often fail while their meta-commentary succeeds.
