The 'Would You Like to Sign My Petition?' meme originates from the 2003 cult-classic PC game Postal 2, developed by Running With Scissors. In the game, the cynical protagonist known as the Postal Dude can complete a mundane task by walking up to NPCs and asking them to sign a petition. The line became legendary due to the Dude's deadpan delivery and the increasingly aggressive interactions that follow if a bystander refuses. In internet culture, the template is used to satirize pushy influencers, persistent salespeople, or anyone trying to force a niche opinion on the public. It serves as a humorous way to frame a request that the recipient is likely to find annoying, absurd, or borderline threatening.
