The I Hate Jurgen Leitner meme was a rather comedic anti Jurgen Leitner rant that turned into a bit of a meme and a copypasta. It had another boost in popularity and began to really take off when Octopodian posted a dramatic reading of it.

It has inspired several versions or spinoffs of it. There is at least one fanfic based off of it, which incorporates it. It is often jokingly said to be spoken by Gerry Keay, a The Magnus Archives character who canonically dislikes Jurgen Leitner. The fic has him speaking the rant, and there are a few animations of the rant that have him as a main character.

Some spinoffs involve reading it in the style of a The Magnus Archives episode.

There is also now a trend of translating the rant into different languages, and doing dramatic readings of the translations. The translation videos often, but not always, have titles following the format "The Jurgen Leitner rant but it's in (language) because I can". People have commented on these that they can follow along somewhat because of their memorization and familiarity with the Jurgen Leitner rant, and that way they can pick up new words. Some have also credited a video with increasing their interest in learning a new language. Though it's mostly impossible to see the rate of follow up.

There have been a few musical remixes of the meme.

> episode's not even about him. vaguely mentioned what is supposed to maybe be his library and I lost it. where the fuck is jurgein leitner if hes still alive im going to so deeply wish he wasnt.

> crusty old man. ill punch leitner and his sad frail old man twig bones will simply flake apart under my epic huge meat fist and he will disintegrate until all thats left is one final book he kept on him at all times simply titled Now You Fucked Up in ancient yiddish. im not breathing im hyperventilating at this point. i hope theres a date given for when jurgen died or will die so i can make it a reminder on my phone, and everyday once a year i will see it and do anything but pay respects to the man who had so many fucked up if true books
