About

I Have Hired X to Stare at You is a phrasal template spawned by an exploitable GIF caption format that meme creators continuously inserted Staring Animals into, imagined to have been hired to stare at the meme's viewer. The original meme was "I Have Hired This Bird to Stare at You," followed by "I Have Hired This Fox to Stare at You" and then "I Have Hired This Cat to Stare at You," among other iterations involving different animals that recaptioned the first phrase. The meme started in 2021, continuing into 2022 and 2023 across platforms like iFunny, Reddit and Instagram, among others.
