What does the Doge meme mean?

Doge captions are the dog's thoughts, written in deliberately broken English. Each phrase pairs a modifier like "such," "very," "much" or "so" with a word that doesn't quite fit, and a lone "wow" usually appears somewhere. The phrases float around the dog in different bright colors. It's affectionate, wholesome humor: Doge is impressed, curious or mildly suspicious about whatever you're describing. There's no top/bottom structure, so the fun is in scattering four to six short phrases.

Where is the Doge meme from?

The dog in the photo is Kabosu, a Shiba Inu owned by Japanese kindergarten teacher Atsuko Sato. Sato posted a set of photos, including this sideways glance from the couch, on her personal blog on February 13, 2010. The pictures spread online that year, and in 2012 Tumblr users began captioning the dog's inner monologue in multicolored Comic Sans, giving the format its "wow" style. Doge peaked in 2013: a dedicated subreddit opened in January, and in December a cryptocurrency named Dogecoin launched as a joke on the crypto boom, using Kabosu as its mascot. Sato announced that Kabosu died on May 24, 2024, at age 18.

Tips

Use Comic Sans or another rounded font and give each phrase a different bright color.
Keep each phrase to two or three words and tilt or scatter them instead of lining them up.
Leave the dog's face clear; phrases go in the empty space around him.
