What the Finding Nemo Seagulls meme means
The image is from the 2003 Pixar film Finding Nemo and is associated with the seagulls’ repeated “Mine!” call. Know Your Meme traces this still-based image macro to a January 2012 Reddit post captioned “Skrillex Fans,” followed by Quickmeme examples in 2012. The familiar use turns the birds’ collective possessiveness into a joke about a crowd converging on something desirable or scarce. The foreground gull can intensify the feeling of being surrounded, but the core joke is the group’s shared clamoring.
The active 485×331 still shows a flock of animated seagulls perched on ropes against the sky. One oversized gull dominates the right foreground while several others face forward. There is no baked-in caption; the catalog places one editable caption band above and one below the image.
How the joke works
Use the top slot to identify a desirable item, opportunity, announcement, or moment that attracts a crowd. Use the bottom slot for the group’s collective grabby response, often echoing the birds’ “MINE! MINE! MINE!” The two lines should describe one clear target and multiple claimants; playful exaggeration and crowd energy carry the joke.
- Top caption: identify the desirable or limited thing that draws attention.
- Bottom caption: show the group’s simultaneous, possessive “mine” response.
Caption examples
- THE OFFICE PUTS OUT THE LAST DONUT
- EVERYONE ON THE WAY TO THE BREAK ROOM: MINE!
One scarce treat gives the group a clear shared target and the lower line supplies the familiar collective grab.
- I LIKE PIZZA
- THE WEATHER IS NICE TODAY
The lines do not describe the same target or a group competing for it.
Situations it fits
- a limited free item or last portion attracting a group
- a sale, giveaway, or desirable opportunity drawing many claimants
- a new feature or resource people immediately want access to
- several people competing for attention, credit, or a popular online post
When this format does not fit
- Do not use unrelated top and bottom statements; both should concern the same target.
- Avoid a solitary claimant when the joke needs a clamoring crowd.
- Do not make the crowd response calm or indifferent; the eager, collective insistence is the punchline.
- Avoid using the format for genuinely threatening mob behavior; its usual tone is silly and light.
