In this post, we evaluated what Yare Yare Daze means- determining its origins and curating 21 of the best memes from Reddit.
Yare Yare Daze (やれやれだぜ) is the catchphrase of the anime character Jotaro Kujo from the famous Shonen Manga series JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure.
The expression is a Japanese phrase that denotes boredom or exasperation which actually translates as “Well Well”.
Due to this, official interpretations of the catchphrase vary with the most well-known ones being “Give me a !@$&*# break…” (Shonen Jump Advance), “What a Pain” (The official English dub of the 1993 and 2001 Stardust Crusaders OVA), and “Good Grief” (the streaming site Crunchyroll’s official subtitle for the 2014 animated adaptation) (Source).
More Origins
This anime meme has its roots in a 1989-1992 animated TV series known as the Stardust Crusaders which was the third arc of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventures. Jotaro Kujo the third protagonist of the show was the first to word out Yare Yare Daze and it became his catchphrase. The show was later adapted by David Productions in 2014. This catchphrase made its first reappearance on TV in the second episode of the show.
The famous long established and running Shonen Manga series has caught a lot of attention since then for the Yare Yare Daze catchphrase. The Japanese phrase when translated to English roughly means “give me a break” or “what a pain” or “good grief!”

For those thinking how to use the meme, think of situations where you’re so tired and just sigh in complete resignation. Maybe it is because you have been trying to explain something to someone and they just don’t understand. Or, worse when something someone says just doesn’t make any sense, you say Yare Yare Daze. Best way to say “give me a break” without the other person knowing!
