The 'Your Outie Likes X' meme format is derived from the critically acclaimed Apple TV+ psychological thriller series 'Severance.' Specifically, it references the scenes where the character Mr. Milchick reads out positive facts about an employee's 'Outie'—their persona in the outside world—during a Wellness Session. Because the 'Innies' have no memory of their lives outside the office, these mundane or quirky facts are treated with a surreal level of importance. The meme took off on social media as a way for users to highlight their own oddly specific traits, niche interests, or relatable character flaws in the clinical, detached tone of the show's corporate dystopia.
