The Brief: The evil Kermit meme is about embracing one's inner demons and choosing to do something selfish, irrational, or generally bad.

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.
