AboutWhat does the meme depict?

The 'Always Sunny Plate Toss' meme is based on a scene from the American TV comedy 'It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia.' It features two characters, Mac and Dennis, in a comedic exchange where Mac presents Dennis with a bowl of macaroni and cheese, only for Dennis to throw it across the room in frustration. The meme template captures this moment as a still image, often modified with labels placed over Mac, the bowl, and Dennis, to represent different humorous ideas or concepts.

OriginWho did it first?
