About
“Intelligent, Nihilistic, and with a Wicked Sense of Humor” is a copypasta used to describe oneself as being similar to a fictional character from some sort of medium, usually to make oneself look edgy and dangerous.
Origin
The copypasta originated from 4chan’s /v/ board. On July 23rd, 2014, an anonymous user started a thread[1] asking others if video game characters reminded them of themselves. The original post had a picture of Final Fantasy VI antagonist Kefka and the following comment:
ITT: Characters that remind you of yourself
For me it’s Kefka – intelligent, nihilistic and with a wicked sense of humor.
Spread
For the most part, the copypasta was associated with Kefka, though on September 16th, 2014, it was used with another similar character, the Joker from Batman comics[2]. On November 7th, 2014, the copypasta started to be more widely used with other characters like Max Payne[3], Legate Lanius[4] from Fallout New Vegas, Kyle Hyde[5] from Hotel Dusk: Room 215, and Master Chief[6] from Halo series.
