The Brief: Memes featuring a man wearing pajamas and holding a pillow have gone viral on the subreddit me_irl.
DEEP DIVE
Pajama guy memes started spreading on r/me_irl after user ItsaMeHibob24 posted a stock photo of an old man wearing PJ’s and holding a pillow with the caption “my school is having a ‘meme day’ where we can dress like a meme…r/me_irl please make this image a meme so I can wear pajamas.” This post received over 60,000 upvotes in one day and has inspired numerous other image macro memes featuring the same stock photo.
These recent old man in pajamas memes are not to be confused with the “Pajama Boy” memes of 2013.
