AboutWhat does the meme depict?

The 'I, Robot "No"' meme features a still image or video clip from the 2004 science fiction film 'I, Robot.' In this specific scene, Sonny, a humanoid robot character, turns to his left and sternly says 'No.' This iconic moment captures Sonny's facial expression in a close-up, emphasizing his humanoid features and the moment's tension.

OriginWho did it first?

The film 'I, Robot' debuted on July 7th, 2004, in the United States, featuring a scene that would become the basis of this meme. At a critical juncture near the film's end, Del Spooner, portrayed by Will Smith, presents a question to Sonny, voiced by Alan Tudyk, about the involvement of another character in a murder. Sonny's simple, definitive response, 'No,' marks the memorable moment. This specific scene was highlighted in a video post by YouTuber Captain Darrow on May 20th, 2019. The meme officially took off later that year on November 10th, when Instagram user @jvicy featured the clip in a post to humorously answer the question, 'sooo have you lost your virginity yet?'^[1]
