The 'Mom Can You Give Me Money?' meme is a four-panel exploitable webcomic that depicts a classic bait-and-switch scenario between a child and their mother. Originally surfacing on Tumblr and Reddit around 2018, the comic features a stick-figure child asking for money to buy something sensible, only to use it for something absurd or unexpected in the final panel. The most famous variation involves the child buying 'soup time' and posing 'like a boss.' It has since evolved into a versatile template for parodying consumer habits, gaming microtransactions, and niche internet subcultures, where the humor lies in the deception and the nonsensical nature of the final purchase.
