In the ever-growing world of internet memes, some make us cry, some that make us
laugh, and some that pull at our heartstrings. One such meme that has captured
the attention and emotions of people worldwide is that of a sad hamster who has
taken TikTok by storm.

So let’s uncover the origins of the meme and delve a little deeper into the
emotional impact of this adorable and thought-provoking hamster.


THE ORIGIN OF THE MEME

So where did the little guy come from?

On February 9th, 2024, an X/Twitter account with the username @Doguindolink
posted a video of a little hamster with sad eyes. The video was accompanied by a
poignant backing track of a violin. Two days later, on February 11th, TikTok
user @Schmetterling471 reposted the same clip on their TikTok account. The clip
quickly went viral, earning over 39,000 likes within nine days. Per knowyourmeme


WHY IS IT SO POPULAR?

It appears that a certain hamster has won the admiration of numerous people
because of its undeniable charm and relatable personality. In fact, for the past
week, my TikTok feed has been inundated with a video featuring this hamster. The
meme usually combines the hamster with relatable or emotionally charged
captions, which deeply connect with viewers. Enthusiasts have created a
passionate community around the sad hamster meme, with fan art, animations, and
remixes capturing the collective imagination. It has in turn garnered millions
of views, shares and comments and propelled itself into the realm of internet
stardom.

WHAT SONG IS USED IN THE MEME?

If you’re like me and recognize a song but can’t place it, it might be from a
popular cartoon. “Woe Is Me”, composed by Richard Myhill, is a song that is
commonly used in videos featuring a little rodent. However, it is also featured
in one of the most beloved children’s TV shows of all time, “SpongeBob
SquarePants”. The song appears in the episode “Squilliam Returns”, where Mr.
Krabs plays the world’s smallest violin to Squidward. Yes, you read that right –
the world’s smallest violin plays a sorrowful melody for our tiny hamster
friend.




EMOTIONAL IMPACT.

The “sad hamster” meme may seem cute, but it actually touches upon a common
human experience – feeling sad. In our society, we are often expected to be
happy and positive all the time, which can make it difficult to express our
negative emotions. However, this meme reminds us that it’s okay to feel down
sometimes. It creates a safe space for people to express their emotions and find
comfort in the fact that they are not alone in their sadness. This has motivated
viewers to share their struggles and seek support. So, the next time you’re
feeling low, channel your inner hamster and remember that we’re all in this
emotional rollercoaster together.
