OLIVER TWIST HE ASKED FOR MORE MEME MAKER

ORIGIN & LORE

The 'He Asked For More' meme originates from the classic film adaptations of Charles Dickens' novel 'Oliver Twist,' most notably the 1968 musical 'Oliver!' starring Mark Lester as the titular orphan and Harry Secombe as the beadle, Mr. Bumble. In this pivotal scene, the hungry Oliver walks up to the intimidating master after finishing his meager portion of gruel. Holding out his empty bowl, he utters the legendary line, 'Please sir, I want some more,' which sends the workhouse officials into a state of hysterical, bug-eyed shock. In the world of memes, this clip is the gold standard for representing audacity, bravery, or the simple desire for 'seconds' in any relatable context. It is commonly used to depict situations where someone is asking for more of something they technically shouldn't—like more vacation days, a second pay raise in a year, or even just more content from a favorite creator. It perfectly captures the mixture of innocence from the asker and the absolute disbelief from the authority figure. Example captions include: 'Me asking my boss for a second extension,' 'When the waiter asks if I want more free breadsticks,' or 'Asking for a sequel to a movie that flopped at the box office.'
