AboutWhat does the meme depict?

The meme "I'm Going To Build My Own Theme Park With Blackjack and Hookers" features a quote by Bender, a character from the animated TV series Futurama. The image typically shows Bender wearing a white fur coat and holding a beer bottle, with an angry expression. The phrase is often used in image macros and comments to convey a rebellious or defiant attitude towards not being satisfied with the current options, humorously suggesting that the speaker could do a better job by creating their own version of an establishment or situation, including less conventional features like blackjack and hookers.

OriginWho did it first?

This phrase originated in the animated TV series Futurama, specifically from the episode titled "The Series Has Landed" which aired on April 4th, 1999 (Wikipedia). In the episode, Bender, while on a trip to an amusement park on the moon, attempts to steal a prize from a claw machine and gets thrown out. Upon being ejected, he exclaims his plan to build his own theme park replete with blackjack and hookers in response to his frustration. Later, thinking he's being left behind on the moon, he repeats his extravagant claim while referencing creating his own lunar lander.^[1]
