OP never delivers is a popular meme people use on the internet for quite some time. Let’s review it and gain more info about it below
You have probably wandered into some kind of forum like Reddit or 4chan while browsing. In those forums, you may have encountered some confusion because of a long, long thread.
It can’t be helped; long discussions take place on these platforms pretty often. Sometimes internet users will take great lengths to find the first post and ask the original poster (OP) for an explanation.
More often than not, though, OP doesn’t respond. It doesn’t matter if it’s an old post or a new one; it’s an interesting phenomenon that OP never seems to answer questions or clarifications on a topic. That’s how the internet has learned that OP never delivers.
What is the OP Never Delivers Meme?
“OP never delivers” (other variations include “OP will surely deliver” or “waiting for OP”) is a meme in the form of images featuring people or animals waiting in front of a computer screen.
It often shows them waiting for OP’s response for an extended period of time. Sometimes it even shows them as skeletons, implying that they have wasted away from waiting for OP’s answer for so long.
It usually references how pointless it is to look for a topic where OP said they would answer a question or claim.
Where did this meme first appear?
This meme first appeared as the phrase “waiting for OP” in a forum back in 2005. Later in 2009, an image with the phrase “OP will surely deliver” was posted on Chan4Chan, an image hosting site (see below).
