City Boy Meme

The City Boy meme originates from Gravity Falls Season 1, Episode 3 "Headhunters." Deputy Durland mockingly shouts "City boy! City boy!" at Dipper Pines in this iconic scene. The clip first went viral on TikTok in 2022 and resurged as the first major meme of 2026. City Boys meme is used as a reaction when someone makes a savage or unbothered statement. The phrase "City Boy" has also become slang celebrating independence and self-focused attitudes in dating culture.
