Kermit (the meme) did not actually begin in his final form. What happened when our green puppet became the authority on ethics and morality? The Anchorman said it best: “That escalated quickly.” The Kermit meme soon called out almost everyone for almost any reason, but that was “none of his business cards tomorrow.” These jokes made fun of some of the most bizarre and questionable behavior in society. Kermit the Frog had overtaken social media, and he wasn’t the playful Muppet. This little green amphibian helped make it possible.

The internet was seemingly in decline at the start of 2014. It’s up to you whether you like it or you don’t, but it’s not mine! “But that’s None of my Business Meme” Kermit’s ‘none my business’ meme was definitely a popular meme and my personal favourite. Although the meme was popular for a brief time, it eventually died. The photo below shows him wearing the hat as a message to those who thought he couldn’t beat the Golden State Warriors, who at that time were considered the best basketball team. The meme returned to popularity when Lebron James, who won the NBA championship in June 2016, wore the hat featuring Kermit the Frog on it. The meme’s popularity was declining by 2015 and it looked like it would be a forgotten meme in the meme hall-of-fame (if one exists). It was a meme mocking people who wore fake Jordan’s shoes The first post was a picture of Kermit sipping iced tea. The tumblr blog Kermit the Snitch was created two days later. These hashtags were both used 19 000 and 11 000 times in four days, respectively.

Twitter users started using Kermit and None of my Business Meme hashtags in tweets. Kermit’s popularity wasn’t just limited to Instagram. Within four days, the page had attained over 130,000 followers. The caption of this page featured Kermit’s photos with the statement “that’s no of my business”. The meme really began to gain popularity on June 20th, 2014 when the Instagram page was made. It was uploaded by kermitbelike to Instagram as a meme mocking “ratchet” women (shown here). On June 17, 2014, Kermit’s first use of the phrase “that’s none of mine business trip cheaters” was in conjunction with an image of Kermit. The meme’s origins can be traced back in January 2014, when Instagram users used Kermit images and the hashtag #kermit memes. This expression is often used to make sarcastic remarks about someone or to insult them. The most well-known meme is the “But that’s not my roofing business cards” one. Kermit has been a frequent character in Internet memes over the past few years. The Muppets and Sesame Street have made Kermit a household name. None of my Business Meme Kermit the Frog is a puppet character of frogs that first appeared on television in 1955, on Sam and Friends.
