Pepe

Short for José

Pepe is a cartoon frog that became one of the internet's most recognizable memes.

Originally a laid-back character from a 2005 comic, Pepe spawned countless variations expressing emotions from smug satisfaction to existential despair.

The image was controversially adopted by some far-right groups in the 2010s, though it remains widely used without political intent: posting a sad Pepe, feels good man.
