"Be Like Bill" is a popular internet meme that emerged around late 2015, featuring a stick figure named Bill wearing a knitted hat. The meme's core message promotes common sense and polite behavior, particularly in online interactions. Each meme typically follows a format: "This is Bill. Bill sees [something common/annoying]. Bill doesn't [do the annoying thing]. Bill is smart. Be like Bill." It originated from various creators, including Eugeniu Croitoru and Debabrata Tripathy, gaining significant traction on Facebook. The meme is used to humorously, and often subtly, call out or disapprove of everyday annoying habits, especially those related to social media etiquette, without directly confronting individuals. It became a viral phenomenon for its relatable commentary on modern life and online conduct, advocating for a more considerate approach to digital interactions.
