The 'Turd Ferguson' persona originated from a recurring 'Celebrity Jeopardy!' sketch on Saturday Night Live, most notably in a 1999 episode. The scene features Norm Macdonald portraying a recalcitrant and dismissive version of Burt Reynolds, alongside Will Ferrell as the increasingly frustrated host, Alex Trebek. In this iconic clip, Macdonald’s Reynolds buzzes in simply to announce he has changed his name to 'Turd Ferguson' and is wearing an oversized yellow foam hat he 'found backstage.' When Trebek asks why he would do that, he simply replies, 'It's a funny name,' embodying a level of pure, unbothered absurdity. As a meme, this clip is the gold standard for representing situations where someone is being intentionally difficult, childishly stubborn, or using a ridiculous alias. It resonates with anyone who has ever used a fake name for a loyalty card or felt like a chaotic presence in a serious environment. Example captions include: 'When you use a fake email for a 10% discount,' 'Me choosing my Gamertag at 3 AM,' and 'When the substitute teacher tries to take attendance.'
