Gromit Mug Meme: Funny, Happy, Creative

Intro: Gromit Mug Meme


Gromit Mug meme is a mug shaped like Wallace and Gromit’s deuteragonist Gromit. Ironic memes about the mug being a very desirable item gained popularity online in March 2020, and this was boosted further when popular YouTuber Pyrocynical purchased the mug in April 2020.

Origin: Gromit Mug Meme

The mug is officially called as “Aardman Wallace and Gromit Shaped Mug – Gromit,” and it is sold by British online shop Half Moon Bay Shop.

Longvagine, an Instagram user, posted an ironic meme comparing the pros and cons of marriage on January 9th, 2020, naming “have to share the dino mug with wife” as a con (shown below, left). An unknown user posted a meme before March 9th, 2020, in which the dyno mug was replaced with the Gromit mug (shown below, right). On March 9th, 2020, the Facebook meme pages Incoming memes and Imaginary memes with unsanitary themes were the first to repost the photo, garnering over 4,100 responses and 1,700 shares in 8 months, respectively.
