The 'You Guys Are Getting Paid?' meme originates from the 2013 comedy film We're the Millers, featuring a scene where the fake 'Miller' family discusses their compensation for a smuggling job. The humor stems from Kenny's shocked realization that he is the only one working for free while his partners-in-crime are making thousands. Since blowing up in late 2018 and early 2019, the template has been widely used to mock exploitation, unpaid internships, or situations where someone is blissfully unaware of financial benefits others are receiving. Its four-panel layout makes it perfect for contrasting different levels of success or reward before the final punchline of total exclusion.
