Overview

ReginaldChaos Meme Day Prank refers to a joke orchestrated by Reddit's /r/me_irl subreddit in which a user named ReginaldChaos asked the subreddit to make him a meme so that he could dress as himself for his high school's "meme day." The request led to multiple posts related to ReginaldChaos over the following several days, and the user successfully attending school as a meme himself.

Background

On February 10th, 2019, Redditor ReginaldChaos posted an image of himself with overlayed text asking /r/me_irl to make him a meme so that he could go to his school's Meme Day dressed as himself. The post gained over 88,000 points[1] (shown below).



Developments

The subreddit created memes using ReginaldChaos over that and the following day. For example, Redditor Cambry_MD posted a Drakeposting parody that gained over 22,000 points (shown below, left). User AravindStar posted a text message exchange with ReginaldChaos about the user's increasing popularity on the subreddit, gaining over 740 points (shown below, right).



The success of the campaign led to ReginaldChaos attending school as himself. The following day, ReginaldChaos posted a picture of himself at school making the same pose he had made in the prior post, gaining over 55,000 points (shown below). User sakhewaet, who attended the same school as ReginaldChaos, posted a picture of himself recreating ReginaldChaos' photo, gaining over 22,000 points (shown below, right). The posts were inquired about on /r/OutOfTheLoop.[2]
