The Brief: The evil Kermit meme is about embracing one's inner demons and choosing to do something selfish, irrational, or generally bad.
DEEP DIVE
The image is of Kermit the Frog talking to a hooded version of himself. It was originally featured in the film Muppets Most Wanted.
The memefied version of the picture is usually paired with an internal monologue written out like a conversation between oneself and their “dark side.” These memes typically illustrate the devilish feeling of choosing to do the wrong thing when it comes to relationships, dieting, self-control and more.
Other variations of the meme replace Kermit with Miss Piggy or other celebrities.
