The Texts From Last Night Meme is based on the Texts From Last Night blog which reposts text messages submitted by users. The texts or text conversations are usually short, humourous anecdotes involving partying, sexual encounters, or other antics from the night before. Fans, being fans, have spun off the original idea by using the text content in particularly transformative ways on fandom screencaps, creating such blogs (usually on Tumblr) as Texts From The Tardis and Texts From The A-Team.

The post featured texts that represent Tony DiNozzo, Spock, and Clark Kent (and others), all without visual aids, which marked it uniquely.
