I'm At Soup (also known as Soup Store) is a meme in which two characters converse over a phone call. The first character requires another character's help, but the second character is occupied with shopping for clothes. As the conversation continues, the second character is revealed to be at a soup store. Both characters become frustrated and angrily yell at each other.
I'm At Soup originates from the sixteenth episode of Code MENT, an abridgment of the anime Code Geass by PurpleEyesWTF. The audio from the episode is used in animatics and fan animations, with characters from different fandoms conversing with each other. The earliest known example of a fan animatic using the episode's audio is a Dark Souls animatic, which was uploaded several hours after the release of the Code MENT episode.
Occasionally, the script is used as a basis for an original performance by fannish voice actors. The meme has also inspired different types of fanworks, such as fanart, fanfiction, image macros, and image edits.
