What is the No Soup for You meme?

No Soup for You shows Larry Thomas as the stern soup chef from Seinfeld, in a white chef's uniform with a neckerchief, raising one finger in the air as he refuses to serve someone. In the show, he runs a famously strict soup counter where customers must follow his ordering rules exactly or be sent away with "No soup for you!" Online it is the reply to anyone who asked for too much, broke the rules or made a request you are gleefully denying.

Origin: The scene is from "The Soup Nazi", a Seinfeld episode that aired in November 1995. The character's catchphrase became one of the show's most quoted lines.

Also known as: Soup Nazi, Seinfeld No Soup, No Soup 4 U.

How to use the No Soup for You meme

Top box: what the person did or asked for. Bottom box: the denial, usually "no soup for you!", or a version that swaps in what they are being refused ("no merge for you!").

It fits rules that someone broke, unreasonable demands, a pet that stole food, or a referee's call. The joke works best when the offense is small and the punishment is delivered with total authority, just like the soup counter. Keep the top line brief so the catchphrase gets the focus.
