Nermal comes from Jim Davis's Garfield comic strip, introduced in 1979 as a tiny grey tabby who boasts about being the world's cutest kitten. Garfield's jealousy became a running joke, with Nermal frequently mailed to Abu Dhabi or otherwise disposed of in the strips and cartoons. Online, that disposal gag evolved into trash can memes and soundboard clips, where Nermal's fate stands in for any smug character being thrown out. The joke persists because the contrast between Nermal's pride and Garfield's cold rejection remains instantly readable.

Nermal in the Trash Can is a Garfield meme sound referencing the kitten being tossed away, used for funny rejection, dismissal and unwanted character jokes.
This sound plays on the running Garfield gag where Nermal, the self-proclaimed cutest kitten in the world, annoys Garfield so much he gets sent away, often imagined stuffed in a trash can. The clip captures that cartoonish punishment in audio form, with the clatter and muffled reaction selling the joke without needing the picture. It lands as instant comic rejection, the feeling of something cute but irritating being binned. Viewers recognize it immediately as shorthand for unwanted, overconfident, or hilariously discarded energy in a scene.
