AboutWhat does the meme depict?

"Carl!" is a meme derived from the popular horror drama television series The Walking Dead. It features the main character, Rick Grimes, frequently and dramatically shouting his son's name, "Carl," often highlighting the peculiar and exaggerated way the name is pronounced. This particular delivery has become a humorous element among fans and online communities.

OriginWho did it first?

The meme originates from The Walking Dead, specifically from the relationship between the show’s protagonist, Rick Grimes, and his son Carl. Introduced in the very first episode of the series titled "Days Gone Bye," which premiered on October 31, 2010, Rick is a former police officer who wakes up amidst a zombie apocalypse and subsequently finds and travels with his son. Rick's intense and frequent calls for his son, shouting "Carl," to grab his attention have been a notable and recurring part of the series.^[1]
