About
“David Beckham's «Be Honest. Thank You.»” is a multi-panel meme format taken from a scene in the BECKHAM Netflix documentary. In it, Victoria Beckham claims she and husband David Beckham come from working-class backgrounds, only to be interrupted by David urging her to "be honest"—leading her to admit her father owned a Rolls-Royce. David closes the moment with a dry "Thank you."
The meme gained traction for humorously exposing exaggerations and quickly spread from Telegram in October 2023 to X and Facebook by December.
Origin
The scene comes from BECKHAM, released on Netflix on October 4, 2023. During an interview, David Beckham interrupts Victoria's claims about a humble upbringing, pressing her until she admits to having a privileged background. The moment's authenticity and comedic timing resonated online.
On October 6th, 2023, Reddit user Rajat_Chauhan posted the clip to /r/funnyvideos, gaining over 64,000 upvotes in two months. This helped popularize the scene as a meme format.
Meaning
The meme is used to humorously call out exaggerations or false modesty. It typically features one person making a self-flattering claim and another insisting on honesty, ending with a reluctant truth and a curt "Thank you."
It serves as a modern "gotcha" meme, similar to "Caught in 4K," and is often used in personal, social, or political contexts to highlight inconsistencies or embellishments with comedic effect.
