Everything Reminds Me Of Her / Him

About

Everything Reminds Me Of Her / Him or Everywhere I Look Something Reminds Me Of Her is a catchphrase used in a series of image macro and image caption memes where photos of objects that resemble parts of the female or male anatomy are shown under one of the two titular phrases. The joke was used in the 1988 film The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad! and became the subject of memes around 2017.

Origin

On December 2nd, 1988, The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad! was released in the U.S. In one scene, Lt. Frank Drebin drives by the San Onofre power plant, a spherical pair of buildings that resemble a woman's breasts. He says, "Everywhere I look something reminds me of her" as they pass by (shown below).

Around April 30th, 2017, a now-deleted Instagram^[1] user posted an image macro with Drebin's caption alongside four images of things that resemble parts of the female anatomy (shown below). The post was archived by awwmemes^[2] on that date.
