The My New Character meme blew up because of its laid-back vibe and hilarious “chill guy” attitude. This character, a dog with a human body, is all about lowkey not giving a damn, smirking at the world in a cozy sweater and jeans. Originally a tweet by @PhillipBankss in 2023, it exploded on TikTok in 2024, with fans remixing it into fancams and meme formats. The fun really kicked off when users paired the character with catchy sounds like Brian Griffin’s voice saying, “I know I’m supposed to be a chill guy…” and soon, the character’s “deal” became a viral sensation. Later on, people even discovered another character called My Old Character from the same creator, giving meme fans more content to enjoy!
