Meme lore
What is the Seagulls Mine meme?
Seagulls Mine is a meme based on the flock of seagulls from Pixar's Finding Nemo that repeatedly squawk 'Mine! Mine! Mine!' while chasing anything they want. It humorously represents greed, possessiveness, or multiple people claiming the same thing at once.
Origin & history
In Finding Nemo, Marlin and Dory encounter a chaotic group of seagulls on a buoy who can only say 'Mine!' while fighting over scraps. The gag's simplicity - identical birds, identical word, total greed - made it instantly quotable when the film hit home video and cable reruns.
YouTube remixes and GIF captions spread the joke beyond the movie, especially for beach photos, shopping hauls, and threads where everyone wants the same limited item. The format works whenever multiple people (or entities) aggressively claim ownership of something trivial.
