Inside Out 2 is the biggest box office hit of 2024 so far, and it was destined to inspire a meme or two along the way. Memes captioned with the words “Inside Out if it was filmed inside my head” are putting a twist on the beloved Pixar classic, and they’re mostly inspired by other iconic movies and TV shows.

This viral meme draws inspiration from the premise of Inside Out and its sequel, which is taking the theaters by storm right now. They both center on personified emotions administering the thoughts and actions of the young girl named Riley, ranging from Joy and Sadness to Fear, Disgust, and Anger.

The premise of this animated hit became so widely known that it inspired a viral meme that sees people imagining what these emotions would look like if Inside Out was set inside their minds. If you search the phrase words “Inside Out if it was filmed inside my head” on X (formerly known as Twitter), you’ll stumble upon countless hilarious posts, mostly inspired by iconic pop culture moments.

From The Bear and Succession to Derry Girls and Shameless, these viral memes pay homage to some of our favorite movies and TV shows. They’re pretty self-deprecating since they mostly feature iconic groups of fictional characters who are prone to making a mess whenever they are in the same room together.
