Evil Plotting Raccoon Meme Generator

Evil Plotting Raccoon emerged during the Advice Animal era of the early 2010s on Reddit and Meme Generator, alongside formats like Successful Black Man and Philosoraptor. The photo shows a raccoon with its front paws pressed together in a gesture that reads as scheming or gleeful anticipation, amplified by the animal's natural 'bandit mask' facial markings.

The template typically uses top-and-bottom Impact text: the setup describes an everyday situation and the punchline reveals a petty, mischievous, or passive-aggressive plan. It became a go-to format for confessing small acts of revenge - eating a roommate's food, leaving a sarcastic comment, or quietly enjoying someone else's minor misfortune - without the meme-taker appearing outright villainous.
