About

"The Ogre Has Fallen In Love With The Princess" is a memorable quote uttered by the character Lord Farquaad in the 2001 animated fantasy film Shrek. A screenshot of the scene has been used as a reaction image macro to express feelings of embarrassment about romantic feelings. People have also digitally altered words in the statement, generally presented as subtitles, to reference different subjects.

Origin

On April 22nd, 2001, the film Shrek was released in the United States.[1] In the film, the character Lord Farquaad mocks the character Shrek for expressing his feelings toward Princess Fiona (voiced by John Lithgow, Mike Myers and Cameron Diaz, respectively) by saying, "The ogre has fallen love with the princess" (clip below).



The earliest known usage of the meme was published by Redditor [2] HBG2004, who posted a screenshot of the scene with the caption "My friends when I see a cute girl." The post received more than 5,900 points (98% upvoted) in less than one year (shown below).

Later that month, Redditor[4] Shyzmon posted the image in response to the engagement of Jake Paul and Tana Mongeau. However, they altered the subtitle to read, "The ogre has fallen in love with the ogre." The post received more than 23,000 points (97% upvoted) and 300 comments in less than one year (shown below, center).

Over the next few months, the format continued to rise in popularity on the /r/dankmemes subreddit.[6] On October 29th, published a version in which the image reacts to a tweet by Electronic Arts about the comany's collaboration with Steam. The post received more than 83,000 points (95% upvoted) and 1,000 comments in less than two months (shown below, right).
