SadgeBusiness is a variant of the popular Twitch emote Sadge, featuring Pepe the Frog dressed in a business suit with a briefcase and wearing a dejected expression. This emote represents workplace disappointment, corporate exhaustion, or professional setbacks in a humorous way. It's essentially the business or corporate version of the regular Sadge emote, conveying sadness or disappointment specifically in a work-related context.
SadgeBusiness is derived from the original Sadge emote, which itself is based on Pepe the Frog, a character created by Matt Furie in 2005 that became a widespread internet meme. The original Sadge emote (depicting a sad-looking Pepe) gained popularity in Twitch culture around 2019-2020.
SadgeBusiness is not an official Twitch global emote but rather a third-party emote available through browser extensions like 7TV, BetterTTV (BTTV), and FrankerFaceZ (FFZ). These platforms allow users to upload and share custom emotes that can be used in Twitch chat. The exact creator and first upload date of SadgeBusiness isn't widely documented, but it emerged as part of the growing collection of Pepe variants that populate these third-party emote services.
SadgeBusiness is typically used in Twitch chat in the following contexts:
