The "Too Damn High" meme features Jimmy McMillan, the founder of the "Rent Is Too Damn High Party," during the 2010 New York gubernatorial debate. McMillan became an instant internet sensation due to his distinctive facial hair, black gloves, and his forceful repetition of the phrase "the rent is too damn high." The meme is widely used to express outrage or exaggeration regarding any situation involving rising costs, excessive frequency, or overwhelming numbers. Its versatility has kept it relevant as a go-to template for expressing hyperbolic frustration.
