Chill Guy or I’m Just a Chill Guy is a meme that went viral on TikTok.
The meme is also known as “My new character” or “That Lowkey Doesn’t Give a F*ck”.
The character is a drawing of a brown dog with a sweater and red shoes.
It resembles Brain Griffin from Family Guy as the character is standing on his own two feet.
The meme originated from 𝕏 user @PhillipBankss, who is a digital artist.
He draws with Clip Studio paint and uses a Wacom Bamboo Capture Pen and Touch Tablet.
On Oct 4, 2023, he posted a drawing of a dog with a grey sweater, green pants, and red shoes.
The character resembles Brain Griffin from Family Guy, except that he’s brown and has clothes.
He captioned it, “My new character. his whole deal is he’s a chill guy that lowkey doesn’t give a f*ck”.
The tweet got over 50k likes and more than 1.6 million impressions.
Although the drawing was posted in 2023, it resurfaced in late 2024 and became a meme.
The meme is about exaggerating someone’s chill or easy-going personality.
It’s also related to the “Nonchalant” meme that emphasizes calmness or being laid-back.
Here’s an example of the Chill Guy meme, “When your wife is yelling at you in 20 years that you’re a lazy, drunk, gambler piece of trash but in reality, you’re just a really chill guy”.
And another, “When your girl’s mad because you forgot to text her back but you’re really just a chill guy”.
One of the most popular videos of the meme was posted by @xssume on TikTok.
The video is an edit of the Chill Guy standing in the flowers while the sun sets.
The audio of the video is a quote from Dexter Morgan, Dexter, Season 5: The Big One.
Here’s the quote, “They make it look so easy, connecting with another human being, it’s like no one told them it’s the hardest thing in the world”.
The video got over 17 million views, 2 million likes, and more than 300k shares.
If you want to make a Chill Guy meme, you must remove the background of the drawing by Phillip using a background remover tool.
After you’ve removed the background, find a photo of a sunset, a cozy room, or a background that is related to the meme.
Lastly, add a caption that describes a plight, but ends with “You’re just really a chill guy”.
You can use the audio “original sound by Ruth Tejeda✨” for your video.
