About
You Dense Motherfucker is an expression used to insult someone’s intelligence or decision making ability. The phrase is most often iterated in the form of a reaction image based on a panel from KC Green's webcomic series The Anime Club or alternatively, a screen capture of the villain character Syndrome from the 2005 Pixar short animation film Jack-Jack Attack.
Origin
On July 15th, 2009, K.C. Green released the eighth issue of his webcomic series The Anime Club,[1] which featured a panel showing the character Mark calling his friend Mort a "dense motherfucker" for purchasing an infected anime DVD (shown below).
Spread
On July 15th, 2010, a 4chan user replied to another poster's praising of High School of the Dead as a “god tier animation” in a thread on /a/ (Anime & Manga) board[3] with the illustrated panel from The Anime Club (shown below).
On February 24th, 2011, Tumblr[4] user claudiaruckus posted the two-pane webcomic illustration. On March 25th, Redditor internetor submitted the same panel to the /r/pics[2] subreddit, presenting the quote as his internal monologue while interacting with
"stupid people."

On April 3rd, 2013, FunnyJunk[6] user escott submitted a screenshot of a Facebook argument wherein the original poster mistakenly asks friends to “call or text” if they find his lost cell phone, only to correct himself later by responding to his own post with the reaction image of Syndrome.
