First Date: The Animated Meme Revolution

June 04, 2025

    

First Date – $DATE

First Date is an animated short film brought to life by Matt Furie and Joseph Bennett, marking Matt Furie’s debut in animation. Known for creating the iconic character Pepe the Frog, Furie steps into a new medium with this surreal and stylistically bizarre animated experiment. The project was developed as a test for a potential Boy’s Club cartoon series.

In the First Date short, Pepe and a female character are seen watching a TV show featuring another Boy’s Club character, Andy, who goes on a surreal and ultimately grotesque first date. As the date unfolds, Andy is eventually digested by his date—delivering the classic Furie blend of absurdity, humor, and darkness.

A Collaborative Effort

First Date is a joint creation between Joseph Bennett and Matt Furie, combining their creative forces to blend counterculture art with an experimental crypto-media rollout.

$DATE Tokenomics

The $DATE token is directly tied to the First Date animated project, bringing a meme-fueled cryptocurrency component into the cultural experiment. True to its ethos of simplicity and decentralization, the project outlines a no-nonsense approach to tokenomics:

•No Taxes
•No Bullshit
•LP tokens are burnt
•Contract ownership is renounced

Token Supply: 420.69 Billion
Contract Address: 0x2d4723ea557b9126CACf3A892e72eadb448AC335
