Similar to [Haters Gonna Hate](https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/haters-gonna-hate), the characters in the macros have an air of superiority and do not care how others perceive them. ## Origin The phrase stems from [The Lonely Island](https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/people/the-lonely-island)'s single "Like A Boss," a parody of the Slim Thug song of the same name.[\[1\]](https://knowyourmeme.com/sensitive/memes/like-a-boss#fn1) Featuring Andy Samberg and Seth Rogen, the video premiered on [Saturday Night Live](https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/subcultures/saturday-night-live) as a digital short on April 4th, 2009. In the video, the Boss (Samberg) is asked to go over his daily activities during a performance review by Rogen's character. While it starts out with daily office tasks, the lyrics evolve into impossible activities. Sample lyrics from The Lonely Island's Like a Boss [\[2\]](https://knowyourmeme.com/sensitive/memes/like-a-boss#fn2) > Crash my car (like a boss) > Chop my balls off (like a boss) > Turn into a jet (like a boss) > Bomb the Russians (like a boss) > Crash into the sun (like a boss) > Now I'm dead (like a boss) ## Spread The day after the video aired on SNL, it was shared by the Huffington Post[\[3\]](https://knowyourmeme.com/sensitive/memes/like-a-boss#fn3), Laughing Squid[\[4\]](https://knowyourmeme.com/sensitive/memes/like-a-boss#fn4), [Funny or Die](https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/sites/funny-or-die)[\[5\]](https://knowyourmeme.com/sensitive/memes/like-a-boss#fn5) and [Digg](https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/sites/digg), where it received 3645 upvotes.[\[6\]](https://knowyourmeme.com/sensitive/memes/like-a-boss#fn6) On June 5th, 2009 the site InstantBoss.org[\[8\]](https://knowyourmeme.com/sensitive/memes/like-a-boss#fn8) was created, which gave users a button that would play a single "Like a Boss" line. On Memebase[\[10\]](https://knowyourmeme.com/sensitive/memes/like-a-boss#fn10) and Very Demovational[\[11\]](https://knowyourmeme.com/sensitive/memes/like-a-boss#fn11), image macros have been more popular, with people adding the phrase to images of people completing actions easily or with expertise. As of September 2011, the song has been scrobbled on [last.fm](https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/sites/lastfm)[\[7\]](https://knowyourmeme.com/sensitive/memes/like-a-boss#fn7) over 966,000 times by over 150,000 unique users. #### On Twitter "Like A Boss" as a [catchphrase](https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/catchphrases) has been popular on [Twitter](https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/sites/twitter-x) and [Tumblr](https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/sites/tumblr)[\[9\]](https://knowyourmeme.com/sensitive/memes/like-a-boss#fn9), as a [hashtag](https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/hashtag) for posts about successful actions or things they are proud of doing: ## Notable Examples [![LIKE A BOSS](https://a.kym-cdn.com/assets/blank-b3f96f160b75b1b49b426754ba188fe8.gif)](https://knowyourmeme.com/photos/122552-like-a-boss) [![LIKE A BOSS](https://a.kym-cdn.com/assets/blank-b3f96f160b75b1b49b426754ba188fe8.gif)](https://knowyourmeme.com/photos/110885-like-a-boss.Tie8N2Hwu2M) [![LIKE A BOss](https://a.kym-cdn.com/assets/blank-b3f96f160b75b1b49b426754ba188fe8.gif)](https://knowyourmeme.com/photos/142347-like-a-boss) [![LIKE A BOSS MEMEBASE.com](https://a.kym-cdn.com/assets/blank-b3f96f160b75b1b49b426754ba188fe8.gif)](https://knowyourmeme.com/photos/151513-like-a-boss.TifSO2Hwu2M) [![LIKE A BOSS](https://a.kym-cdn.com/assets/blank-b3f96f160b75b1b49b426754ba188fe8.gif)](https://knowyourmeme.com/photos/115654) [![LIKE A BOSS](https://a.kym-cdn.com/assets/blank-b3f96f160b75b1b49b426754ba188fe8.gif)](https://knowyourmeme.com/photos/119900) #### Derivative [![am tALstwo special characteristics- Adjectives) Iwonder something you are actually curious an imaginary sound) (an imaginary sight) an actual desire) (the first line of the poem restat I hear I see l want I am l pretend// some ー l feel a feeling about something ya I touchk (an imaginary touch- some see) (something that really (something that makes yo (the first line of the poem I worry Iam (something (something you beli (something you I understandkA I say I dreamhe ahess about) I try about) I hope (something you re (something yo - like a boss IN!

Similar to [Haters Gonna Hate](https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/haters-gonna-hate), the characters in the macros have an air of superiority and do not care how others perceive them. ## Origin The phrase stems from [The Lonely Island](https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/people/the-lonely-island)'s single "Like A Boss," a parody of the Slim Thug song of the same name.[\[1\]](https://knowyourmeme.com/sensitive/memes/like-a-boss#fn1) Featuring Andy Samberg and Seth Rogen, the video premiered on [Saturday Night Live](https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/subcultures/saturday-night-live) as a digital short on April 4th, 2009. In the video, the Boss (Samberg) is asked to go over his daily activities during a performance review by Rogen's character. While it starts out with daily office tasks, the lyrics evolve into impossible activities. Sample lyrics from The Lonely Island's Like a Boss [\[2\]](https://knowyourmeme.com/sensitive/memes/like-a-boss#fn2) > Crash my car (like a boss) > Chop my balls off (like a boss) > Turn into a jet (like a boss) > Bomb the Russians (like a boss) > Crash into the sun (like a boss) > Now I'm dead (like a boss) ## Spread The day after the video aired on SNL, it was shared by the Huffington Post[\[3\]](https://knowyourmeme.com/sensitive/memes/like-a-boss#fn3), Laughing Squid[\[4\]](https://knowyourmeme.com/sensitive/memes/like-a-boss#fn4), [Funny or Die](https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/sites/funny-or-die)[\[5\]](https://knowyourmeme.com/sensitive/memes/like-a-boss#fn5) and [Digg](https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/sites/digg), where it received 3645 upvotes.[\[6\]](https://knowyourmeme.com/sensitive/memes/like-a-boss#fn6) On June 5th, 2009 the site InstantBoss.org[\[8\]](https://knowyourmeme.com/sensitive/memes/like-a-boss#fn8) was created, which gave users a button that would play a single "Like a Boss" line. On Memebase[\[10\]](https://knowyourmeme.com/sensitive/memes/like-a-boss#fn10) and Very Demovational[\[11\]](https://knowyourmeme.com/sensitive/memes/like-a-boss#fn11), image macros have been more popular, with people adding the phrase to images of people completing actions easily or with expertise. As of September 2011, the song has been scrobbled on [last.fm](https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/sites/lastfm)[\[7\]](https://knowyourmeme.com/sensitive/memes/like-a-boss#fn7) over 966,000 times by over 150,000 unique users. #### On Twitter "Like A Boss" as a [catchphrase](https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/catchphrases) has been popular on [Twitter](https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/sites/twitter-x) and [Tumblr](https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/sites/tumblr)[\[9\]](https://knowyourmeme.com/sensitive/memes/like-a-boss#fn9), as a [hashtag](https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/hashtag) for posts about successful actions or things they are proud of doing: ## Notable Examples [![LIKE A BOSS](https://a.kym-cdn.com/assets/blank-b3f96f160b75b1b49b426754ba188fe8.gif)](https://knowyourmeme.com/photos/122552-like-a-boss) [![LIKE A BOSS](https://a.kym-cdn.com/assets/blank-b3f96f160b75b1b49b426754ba188fe8.gif)](https://knowyourmeme.com/photos/110885-like-a-boss.Tie8N2Hwu2M) [![LIKE A BOss](https://a.kym-cdn.com/assets/blank-b3f96f160b75b1b49b426754ba188fe8.gif)](https://knowyourmeme.com/photos/142347-like-a-boss) [![LIKE A BOSS MEMEBASE.com](https://a.kym-cdn.com/assets/blank-b3f96f160b75b1b49b426754ba188fe8.gif)](https://knowyourmeme.com/photos/151513-like-a-boss.TifSO2Hwu2M) [![LIKE A BOSS](https://a.kym-cdn.com/assets/blank-b3f96f160b75b1b49b426754ba188fe8.gif)](https://knowyourmeme.com/photos/115654) [![LIKE A BOSS](https://a.kym-cdn.com/assets/blank-b3f96f160b75b1b49b426754ba188fe8.gif)](https://knowyourmeme.com/photos/119900) #### Derivative [![am tALstwo special characteristics- Adjectives) Iwonder something you are actually curious an imaginary sound) (an imaginary sight) an actual desire) (the first line of the poem restat I hear I see l want I am l pretend// some ー l feel a feeling about something ya I touchk (an imaginary touch- some see) (something that really (something that makes yo (the first line of the poem I worry Iam (something (something you beli (something you I understandkA I say I dreamhe ahess about) I try about) I hope (something you re (something yo - like a boss IN! ailblog.ory sc\_(the first line of](https://a.kym-cdn.com/assets/blank-b3f96f160b75b1b49b426754ba188fe8.gif)](https://knowyourmeme.com/photos/94222) ## Search Interest Though "like a boss" was being searched for previous to the Lonely Island video, there is a clear spike that coincides with it in April 2009: \< ## External References
