The 'You Got The Dud' meme originates from the 1996 episode of The Simpsons titled 'Summer of 4 Ft. 2.' During a game of 'Mystery Date,' Homer draws a card featuring a dorky character that looks exactly like Milhouse. The humor lies in the sequence of Homer’s slow, joyful realization followed by Milhouse’s own hesitant, creeping smile as he accepts his fate. While always a fan favorite, the clip saw a massive resurgence in the late 2010s through the Simpsons shitposting community, where it was often edited into increasingly surreal and repetitive videos. Today, it is used to signify any situation where someone is identified as the 'loser' or the 'dud' of the group in a comically slow and inevitable fashion.
