Spurdo is one of the earliest internet meme icons, born over 15 years ago on the Finnish imageboard Ylilauta. It appeared roughly a year after Matt Furie created Pepe the Frog. Over time, Spurdo gained popularity on 4chan’s /int/ board and became a key figure in early meme culture. This iconic meme inspired derivative creations like $APU, $BOBO, and $DODO, leaving a lasting mark on imageboard humor and pre-meme coin internet culture.
