Filthy Frank was the absurdist YouTube character created by George Miller, whose chaotic comedy videos built a large online following in the 2010s. The 'I didn't see anything' line fits his persona perfectly, a character who witnesses something bizarre and immediately refuses to take responsibility for it. Clips of his catchphrases were later shared widely on soundboards, TikTok and meme edits, where the denial became a shorthand reaction. It endures because it works in almost any awkward situation, letting creators admit they saw something while jokingly denying it.
