Play him off, Keyboard Cat 

Play him off, Keyboard Cat is an internet meme that broke in early 2009. The meme features a video of a cat playing a keyboard added as a punchline to a fail video. The original video of Keyboard Cat was shot in the 1980s and uploaded to YouTube by the cat's owner Charlie Schmidt in 2007. Another YouTuber, Brad O'Farrell, uploaded the first Play him off, Keyboard Cat video in February 2009, combining a clip of a man in a weelchair falling down an escalator with the Keyboard Cat clip. The meme started to spread soon after as other users began creating more Play him (or her) off, Keyboard Cat clips, and msm coverage followed. Keyboard Cat (real name Fatso) died in 2000.
Example of a Play him off, Keyboard Cat video:
Bill O'Reilly: We'll do it live! Fuck it! I'll write it and we'll do it live! Fucking thing sucks!
Keyboard Cat: Doo doo doo doo, doo doo-doo doo.

A slang term for GLP-1 medications(like Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, etc.), usually referring to their appetite-killing, weight-loss, or “I forgot to eat” effects rather than the medical details.

Usage:
* Often casual, ironic, or meme-y
* Can imply effortless weight loss, suppressed hunger, or being “powered by pharmaceuticals”

Notes:
Not a brand name—just shorthand for the whole GLP-1 wave. Frequently shows up in online jokes, gym talk, and group chats where people pretend they’re *totally* doing it naturally.
