About
Hey So Um There’s This Girl refers to a four-panel exploitable template in which the first three panels show a character going through various faces as it says “Hey so um there’s this girl and um…” with the fourth panel showing a humorous and/or creepy smile. The format is similar to memes like Hey Girls, Did You Know and The Girl Reading This.

The earliest known edit featuring the phrase featured a 3D model of Luigi. It appeared on Amino Apps on January 8th, 2018, and then on Facebook page Zesty Supreme on February 3rd (shown below).

On June 18th, 2018, the quote was used again in a template submitted to ShitpostBot 5000 (shown below, left). On the 23rd, a variation was posted to /r/comedyheaven by user chasepetersen18, gaining over 7,000 points (shown below, right).
The format continued spreading through Reddit over the summer. There were several popular edits of the emoji template as well as numerous edits using different characters.
