The 'My Name Is Jeff' meme originates from the 2014 comedy film '22 Jump Street,' featuring Channing Tatum's character, Greg Jenko, attempting to go undercover with a Mexican cartel. When asked for his name, Jenko awkwardly delivers the line 'My name is Jeff' in a high-pitched, strained voice that instantly became a viral sensation. The scene was praised for its absurdity and Tatum's comedic timing, leading to countless remixes, Vine compilations, and image macros across social media. It is typically used to represent social awkwardness, a failure to act cool under pressure, or simply as a hilarious non-sequitur punchline.
