Irineu is a Brazilian internet meme character popularized in 2017 through the catchphrase “Irineu, você não sabe nem eu” (“Irineu, you don’t know, neither do I”) where a smiling man in a black Peugeot mocks a intrusive reporter. The phrase became widely shared across social media as a humorous way to express confusion or lack of knowledge. While the real identity of the person behind the meme is unidentified, fans often describe Irineu as a charismatic persona tied to Brazil’s dark humor circles and online spaces such as IDL (Ilha Da Lírica). He is also noted as an enthusiast of rap battles and freestyles from the online collective Ilha da Lírica, which mixes humorous punchlines with traditional freestyle structures.
