The 'Rob Lived the Perfect Life' meme originates from a classic comic strip by Nicholas Gurewitch, creator of The Perry Bible Fellowship. The comic displays a gravestone with the titular epitaph, while the reveal panel below shows Rob's skeleton resting peacefully in a coffin filled with his favorite things—originally depicted as anime figurines. The meme became a viral sensation as a way to express contentment with one's niche, often stigmatized, interests. It is widely used to humorously suggest that true happiness isn't found in traditional success, but in the specific, quirky things we love. Users often swap out the items in the grave to represent gaming collections, trading cards, or specific internet subcultures.
