The 'Quit Telling Everyone I'm Dead!' meme originates from the 2003 Disney animated film Brother Bear. In the scene, the bear Tug interrupts a sentimental tribute to himself, shouting his iconic line while the other bears ignore him, acting as if they can still 'hear his spirit.' On the internet, this template became a viral sensation used to describe celebrities, video game franchises, or social media platforms that people claim are 'dead' or irrelevant but are actually still active. It perfectly captures the frustration of being counted out prematurely and is a staple for community banter regarding resurging trends or products that refuse to quit.
