About

That's a Little Version of Me, Allan, also known as Mr. Boss Gifts Allan His Miniature, refers to a scene from the animated series Smiling Friends in which the character Mr. Boss gifts his employee Allan a miniature version of himself, with Allan replying that he doesn't want it. The scene achieved virality as the source material for edits and redraws in late May 2024 as it became an exploitable meme format.

Origin

On May 20th, 2024, episode three "A Allan Adventure" of season two of the animated series Smiling Friends premiered[1] on Adult Swim. In the final scene of the episode, the character Mr. Boss gifts his employee Allan a miniature copy of himself, with Allan saying that he doesn't want it and giving it away as Mr. Boss looks visibly disappointed by his choice.

- That's a little version of me, Allan. I want you to have it.
- I… I don't really want this.
