About

Smiling Lizard Couple refers to a photograph of a gecko and a chameleon sitting side-by-side and looking forward, smiling. The photo became the subject of image macros typically comparing them to a happy older couple in various jokes.

Origin

In early June of 2017, emmatheward uploaded an image of her lizards Stimpy and Olive to Tumblr[1] alongside the caption, "Stimpy and Olive not being camera shy." (Shown below.) The original image has since been deleted from emmatheward's blog, but found success through prior reblogs. The post has collected over 219,300 notes since December 14th, 2020.



Spread

The image found success on Tumblr as users began reblogging it, many adding their own captions for comedic effect. On June 20th, 2017, Tumblr blog Lizards Enjoying Life[2] reblogged the image. On August 15th, lackyannie reblogged[3] the post, adding the caption, "they look like a couple that defied all the odds to be together" (shown below). A screenshot featuring her reblog note ganered over 127,000 views and 2,000 upvotes in a September 27th reupload to Imgur.[4]
