Milhouse is one character on The Simpsons that audiences often sympathize with and relate to. From his dealing with difficulties at school to overcoming his problems at home, all the while being a great best friend to Bart Simpson, there's a lot about Milhouse that audiences admire.
Out of the infinite number of Simpsons memes across the internet, Milhouse memes are an underappreciated treasure. Here are ten funny Milhouse memes that will surely deepen your appreciation for this Simpsons character.
10 Milhouse In The Room
Milhouse is one Simpsons character that doesn't always have an easy time. Besides getting relentlessly bullied and struggling socially, he's in love with his best friend's sister Lisa Simpson throughout much of the show. While Milhouse eventually has some success in relationships, his awkwardness and nervousness makes it difficult to maintain them. He would end up losing Lisa as a possible love interest at least three times so far in The Simpsons
The Room is probably the most iconic bad movie of all time, and it's a funny coincidence that both Tommy Wiseau's character Johnny and Milhouse are rejected by a girl named Lisa.
9 Trust Me
This iconic quote comes from season 18, episode 8, when Milhouse tries to console Bart after he's traumatized from walking in on Homer and Marge having sex. Not only do Milhouse's parents get divorced in one episode "A Milhouse Divided", but it's also revealed in a later episode that his parents Kirk and Luann are first cousins. They eventually remarried, but regardless, Milhouse really does put things in perspective with this quote.
8 Everything's Coming Up
"Everything's coming up Milhouse" has become one of the more iconic catchphrases coming out of The Simpsons, other than "doh!" of course. This meme originated from season 10, episode 19, when Milhouse complains about having to wear the flood pants his mom got him before opening the door to his bedroom. When water gushes in, he exclaims "my feet are soaked but my cuffs are bone-dry!"
No matter how hard life beats him down, you have to admire Milhouse's relentless positivity in a moment like this, even when his house is being destroyed in a flood.
7 Funny Remark
Milhouse is the ultimate underdog for a lot of audiences, and he represents the nice kid that might be well-liked but also struggles with loneliness and feeling left out. In a lot of ways, he is the poster child for victims of bullying. On top of facing harassment from the school bullies, Milhouse is even teased by his best friend Bart sometimes. Memes such as this one shows how a character like Milhouse can resonate with someone who feels overshadowed and left out among their peers.
6 The Walk-In Cooler
Restaurant work and any job in the service industry can be stressful on a good day. Most people have worked a restaurant job at some point in their lives and likely have a harrowing tale or two. Whether it's dealing with rude customers, poor management, or being understaffed on a crazy night, waiting tables is not for the faint of heart, which makes this meme very relatable to those who have worked these types of jobs.
This meme is one of the most viral Milhouse memes out there, and it's widely applicable to anyone finding themselves in challenging situations. The popularity of this meme confirms that the walk-in cooler is in fact a good place to cry it out.
5 Mil-House
House M.D. was a riveting medical series that received high critical acclaim during its 8 seasons. Dr. Gregory House fits into the mad-scientist trope with his unconventional, rule-breaking methods and intellectual clarity despite his addition and difficult personality.
Seeing the main character of this serious drama with Milhouse's feature's superimposed onto his face is definitely interesting if not a jarring contrast. Milhouse's somewhat uncommon name actually came from Richard Nixon's middle name, according to the creators of The Simpsons.
4 Milhouse Is Not A Meme
Memes can transcend the internet from an element of culture into inside jokes between people. It's truly a versatile form of art spanning across mediums, with many internet memes originating on websites like Reddit and 4chan as well as various social media sites.
Back in 2005, Milhouse became the focus of a 4chan debate on what was considered an internet meme and what isn't. Over time Milhouse's image evolved to signify a "forced meme" or a non-organic meme that someone was trying to hard to make. This was repeated so often that it became a paradox, and "Milhouse is not a meme" eventually became a meme itself.
3 Zoidberg Milhouse
This crossover meme from illustrator Tom Treger combines Milhouse with a character from another beloved Matt Groening animated series Futurama. Like Milhouse, Zoidberg isn't always liked by everyone around him and is oftentimes made fun of by other characters and has difficulty with romantic relationships.
While both Milhouse and Zoidberg are underappreciated by their peers, they are both very much appreciated by fans of the shows.
2 Puberty
This meme shows a reimagining of Milhouse as a young handsome anime man character. As previously stated, Milhouse is a perfect underdog character in The Simpsons, and for a lot of audiences, any kind of success he has represents the hope that things will keep "coming up" for Milhouse, and this meme illustrates this notion. So much of Milhouse's childhood is unhappy and difficult, it's no wonder that audiences applaud his character and hope things turn around for him.
1 College Tour
This is another "this is where I come to cry" meme that is very relatable among college students. For a lot of students, college can be a challenge not only intellectually but financially. Some might wonder what it would be like to get a real honest college tour where the student host shows the incoming freshmen all the best places to cry after a difficult exam or a disastrous presentation.
In a lot of ways, Milhouse is a friend that we all need. This meme will probably be circulating around the internet long after The Simpsons finally end.
