The “Be Like Bill” meme is sweeping the Internet, amusing some and annoying others. Bill is the creation of Eugeniu Croitoru, a Moldovan who lives in Milan, who considers himself to be an Internet entrepreneur.
"No, Bill is much better than me," Croitoru told the BBC. "The idea is very simple. 'Bill' can be anyone who is smart and has common sense and doesn't do annoying things. You'll also notice Bill can be someone who makes fun of himself and jokes about others too occasionally."

Bill hides his girlfriend from his other girlfriends. Bill is smart.
On the other hand, nothing wrong with mentioning actions in order to inspire other people to do the same. For example, if one saves a person, it might be helpful to explain how one did it.
This is John. John thinks whoever made Bill is intolerant and is bothered by trivial things. John knows that some of his friends share mundane things but he scrolls past things that don't interest him. John still values their friendship and doesn't whine about it. Be like John.
Ha ha Bill. Close relative of Mr Bill - only those born in 60s know who he is)
So true, so annoying to have 100+ request for farmville and whatever games
I live in europe. My family lives in the USA. What I see out of my window is very different. My family and I like to exchange the things of life. Drop dead Bill.
Bill doesn't add his friends and family to a music page on Facebook just because he likes it.
Until he drinks a few mojitos and daiquiris and then starts taking pictures and posting them into Instagram
He's not smart if he goes to $tarbuck$. He would be smart if he supported independent cafés that actually pay tax.
Bill, as a parent, should set an example to his children, by not swearing!
So if your favorite musician dies, by your supposed bon-ton it's somehow not OK to post their songs?
Bill didn't say it was his favourite,just that it was famous, if Daddy Yankee dies (extreme example) but you never liked reggaeton or even him as a person, would you still post his songs and photos, and be sad over his death as many people try to make others believe?

The artist behind this image is referring to those who have no connection whatsoever to a famous person. For example, Robin Williams died, and my friend who never saw his movies or really cared about him starts posting images, quotes, lines and so on seeming inspired. This happens because people see a famous death as a source of attention. "Oh, everyone is posting about this, it's popular, therefor I will get likes if I post about it." The artist is at no moment targeting the people who are actual fans, connected in some way to the famous person. And to the ones saying Bill is judgmental, it's not Bill, it's his creator, and the whole purpose of this comic is the funny, sarcastic judgement. Please learn to respect humor and thoroughly read it before you post, especially if you fail to understand it.
I was never into Mork and Mindy and liked a few of the films Robin Williams starred in where he was very good at his role but I didn't feel the need to post a status update about him as so many other people were.

Exactly social media isn't life. Call a friend and talk about have them come over and listen to the album. Instead of oh look I'm a huge fan let's post on fb like everyone even cares?
Listen to the music if you like, but no need to post the same songs that everyone else is already posting as well. It's not like it's difficult to get the music anyway. If someone wants to hear a song by the dead artist, they can always find a free download of it somewhere... they don't need it on FB.
-_- This one is ignorant af. Celebrating and sharing someone's work, who inspired and comforted you throughout your life... these are ways to mourn the loss of someone. Don't be like Bill, in this case. He has no compassion.
Ahh, but bill didn't say that he was inspired and comforted, he just said that the artist was famous, many people become "fans" or get to know of an artist after they died and still act as if it were they childhood hero that died.

This is John: He likes to mourn when somebody with great talent dies because it's the respectful thing to do. Be better than Bill. Be John.
Its about respectobg the artists lifework and last honoration, fools! Not bout convincing anybody of some meaningless fact! We all die, n we all leave people "bwhind", alive, and great artists leave so much baluable precious legacy to humanity.... Its a small way of saying a "public" 'thank you' to them! So this Bill thing is a discriminating n manipulative comic desperately trying to "change" human narrowmindedness n maybe selfishness! Peace to all Bills n kill bills alike May love peace n wisdom Overcome!
So when a hero like David Bowie dies, we're just supposed to ignore it and not share songs or videos we loved? F**k you, Bill.
You like David Bowie? You're a big fan of him? Good job, share his songs. The creator of Bill is clearly referring to those who pretend to be a fan only to gather likes and comments. Bill doesn't listen to David Bowie's songs, so Bill didn't post about them, but his annoying friend Rick saw that everyone posted about some singer he doesn't listen to, and took the opportunity to join in and gather a like.

Bill would rather show his respect and honor the memory of passed artists he likes by showing utter indifference, and looks down on people shamelessly promoting them, praising their talent publicly and sharing what they consider to be timelessly worth listening...I like you less and less Bill...
I believe you should reread the image and find the 'pretend' part of it to fully grasp and understand it.

Bill has never say he is better than everyone else, Bill is just smart =)
What if you take an useless picture and it's very nice? :// Aren't most of the photos useless..?
Bill is a smart guy. Bill, having evolved past the dumb-a*s Neanderthal stage, doesn't use the word "r******d" to describe actions or decisions.
Doesn't one of the other things say that Bill is a Christian? Bill is flip-floppety. Don't be like Bill.
I see a beautiful sunrise from my 12th floor bedroom window. I post a photograph of it because it's beautiful. I am not like Bill.
I wonder why Bill is on Facebook at all...maybe he is just a negative Bill??
Do yourself and the world a favor and stop using the word r****d. Period. No questions. No excuses. Just stop.
My loved one doesn't have to buy me flowers, because he knows me well enough to show his love in other ways. Like buying organic grapes or almond butter, and demonstrating his love without buying anything at all ;) Love isn't purchased...
One of my FB friends occasionally posts pics of himself running. No complaints frome me. :)
Do supermodels actually pull duck faces? They usually just look bored and cold...
All of Bill's workouts aren't doing much for him. I'm guessing Bill is a vegetarian since he is a hipster. Bill needs to find some plant based protein.
sure, don't get angry. However, Bill's girlfriend should also know it takes her time to get ready and try to be ready on time. Bill should understand if she's a bit late/slow, but bill's girlfriend should also be more considerate of bills time. Don't be like bill's girlfriend that makes him wait out in the car instead of being ready at the agreed upon time.
Yes because Bill thinks that it's safer to drive with dimmer light and probably crash into something instead of just turning the fog lights off when he sees another car coming. Good thinking Bill!
If you've made it this far you'll have read that Bill also has a girlfriend and an online mistress. Bill is actually a scumbag. Don't be like Bill.
What's girlfriend say about that? Oh wait she probably doesn't know . that's the reason Bill doesn't put it on fb. He's smart he knows that he would get caught if he posted it for the world to see
And Bill knows his ticket and luggage tags contain a wealth of information identity thieves will want to get their hands on. Bill is not an idiot.
Bill chooses to be polite and respectful to the people he's currently surrounded with. Bill realises that apps can always wait a while. Bill knows that people would otherwise call.
I'm not Bill. I don't find the need to make memes critiquing everything every other person on social media does. I must not be smart.
But if everybody is like Bill, we won't see anything on Facebook worth looking at.
maybe there isn't anything worth to look at on facebook? :P

This is Bill, he's a moralistic arrogant f**k who brags about how smart he is. Don't be like Bill, Live a little, enjoy life and tell others about it!
He's basically doing the same thing - he is condemning others for... posting things some might or might not find useful.

Don't be like bob his evil twin: https://www.facebook.com/Dont-be-like-Bob-580435742123192/?ref=hl
This is Mike. His friends call him "mikey". Mike likes to read. Mike likes to ride a bicycle and swim Mike likes photography and technology Mike likes (and has the skills for) driving very fast Mike likes to laugh and make others laugh too Mike likes acting, teaching, singing - and a lot of other stuff Mike doesn't have much use for some social media Mike doesn't give a rats a*s what the Kardashians are doing or whether or not Britney Spears is wearing underwear. DO NOT BE LIKE MIKE! Be yourself. You are a unique and interesting person...
I am deffently not Bill. When I see it is snowing or something outside I usaly post it on the internet.
I like Bill...maybe Bill should run for president and Rick could be his VP
I don't think Bill has any friends on Facebook or in real life. Feel bad for Bill.
I don't think bill is trying to be offensive, and definantly saying you can't use social media he is just saying how sucked into technology
Some people are and how we need to stop and NOT take a selfie

This is the creator of Bill he is a prick who made up a stick figure that lives a humble kept to himself life. The creator of Bill is on Facebook all the time and gets annoyed about every post he sees. He has no friends or family that care about him so he had to make up Bill to make himself not feel lonely. The creator of Bill has to much time on his had and sounds like a whining little baby. Don't be like the creator of Bill
Womp womp Bill is so good at everything that he contradicts himself at almost everything. I'm not skinny enough to be like Bill anyway. Oh well. Let the people who create these memes continue to pat themselves on the back for their clever little rules that truly even Bill himself wouldn't care to read. Was this an elementary school self-confidence building project for obscure hipsters?
this is bill. bill posts 60-something photos critiquing others on what HE thinks is annoying, whils at the same time, doing it himself. *AHEM* COMMON SENSE?
Bill doesn't realize it, but he is being just as annoying as the people he is criticizing.
