first known meme of matrix morpheus

from reddit and however, the first meme that was posted was matrix morpheus sitting in a chair talking to a macintosh computer user saying, "What if i told you, Command+control+shift+4 then space, then clicking a window took a screenshot" on the meme. the first meme wasn't nothing like the current one from today. but it was one of the earliest tracing of history found. since then, the meme became very popular on March 27th, 2012. by July 2012, the Meme of him most likely became very popular because 100% of people who used memes has possibly used it very actively. since then, on memegenerator, people had been currently been posting memes of him since then. by today's standards, people still do post memes of him on the internet and some of them still does it and even though, it still adds different phrases and pictures with the same catchphrase, "what if i told you".

Counterparts

There has been several counterparts of him that could be seen on the internet. when the first one was made on Feburary 11th, 2012, it was shown with matrix sitting on a chair discussing with a man in front of his eyes. but it later became out of style and had to be replaced with a current meme picture of him (as seen above of the page). Afterall?, there is some other memes that has the same catchphrase in it that says "What if i told you" in it, but with a different person in with either the same glasses or appearance. there was a meme of a grey haired cat that had glasses that

had matrix's sunglasses in it. and it said the same phrase "what if i told you". there is "Wat" lady version of him, that had sunglasses like his and the lady said, "What if i told you, Wat". there has been several memes that has his sunglasses and even though, some of the memes on the internet may not have used some software to make the glasses onto the face of the person, but there has been some memes that has a different character, but even though, the character may have the same catchphrase "What if i told you" but even though with an appearance similar or may look like Lawrence Fishburn with glasses. like for example, on a few websites like reddit and vitamin-ha.com, there was a picture of an Anime version of a character named Takeshi Ooi from Death Note who looked very similar to Matrix Morpheus. although, he looks the same as matrix morpheus, but even though, it has never been joked about it, but only one unknown publisher has done it to one meme that had Takeshi Ooi from Death Note.

There has been several characters on the internet that does the same joke as matrix morpheus does. but even though sometimes, there could be photoshop and adobe software users whom had modified the meme with different characters that either real or animated. either way, the meme could possibly be edited or encountered on the computer.
