Ted Talk? More Like Ted Rocks with Memes, Movements, and Midnight Doggo Duty
It's the 'Dawn of the Ted', where memes meet mission, and the internet gets a hero it never knew it needed.
In a world of influencers chasing followers, likes, and the next viral trend, there’s one voice on social media that’s inspiring people to hit the ‘Follow’ button for all the right reasons. Enter Jitendra Sharma, popularly known as Ted the Stoner, the influencer who combines humour, compassion, and purpose to spread positivity and awareness. Sharma isn’t here for fleeting internet fame; he’s here to make a real difference, and he’s doing it with a powerful blend of memes, advocacy, and, yes, those famous 1 AM doggo posts. Ted’s mission goes beyond memes—he’s a digital crusader for animal welfare, mental health, and climate change, making waves with every post and keeping even celebrities like Virat Kohli, Badshah, and Neha Kakkar hooked to his feed.
From Ordinary Jitendra to Extraordinary Ted
Jitendra Sharma’s path to becoming Ted the Stoner started in the unassuming world of Facebook in 2009, back when memes were simpler and influencers were barely a concept. Initially, Sharma posted memes just for laughs. But as his follower count grew, so did his perspective. In 2014, he made the switch to Instagram, where he began blending humour with purpose, realising the influence he wielded. What started as a meme page evolved into a platform of change, where Sharma now discusses everything from environmental rights to mental health.
In a statement, he once shared that he realised the power of his words and wanted to use them responsibly. That realisation marked a pivotal shift. Ted the Stoner wasn’t just about laughs anymore; it was about hope, action, and building a community that stood for something. Today, his platform has become a voice for those who are often unheard, a platform that combines humour with humanity, a place where memes meet mindfulness.
Ted’s 2 Cents
Ted the Stoner has created a unique way of delivering his take on pressing issues with his fan-favourite ‘Ted’s 2 Cents,’ a space where Sharma tackles everything from climate change to social justice. His takes don’t just entertain, they enlighten. Sharma once said he feels that ignoring important topics would be silencing his own voice, something he refuses to do.
Through his page, Sharma has facilitated animal adoptions, provided resources to those in need, called out corruption, and raised awareness on issues traditional media often skips. His following loves him not just for the laughs but for this dual-purpose content that leaves them entertained and, at times, introspective.
1 AM Doggo Posts – Ted’s Call of Duty
One of Ted’s most adored contributions to Instagram is his nightly 1 AM doggo posts. What began as a spontaneous moment quickly turned into a fan-favourite tradition. Ted, in his signature style, calls these late-night posts a duty given by the internet people. These doggo posts featuring everything from cute puppy moments to hilarious dog shenanigans are much more than just adorable content. They’ve become a source of comfort, a reminder that happiness can be found even in the smallest moments. Ted’s fans adore him for this heartwarming gesture, which has grown into something as meaningful as his activism. It’s this blend of heartwarming content and purpose that makes him stand out in the crowded world of social media.
Counting the Goodwill (and the Green)
Sharma’s influence has not only earned him a fanbase but also a pretty impressive net worth. But let’s be real, it’s not only about the cash. This guy is living proof that you can mix purpose with passion, humour with heart, and throw in a whole lot of doggo posts for good measure. With partnerships and a loyal fanbase with over a million followers on Instagram alone, Sharma’s platform isn’t just making bank; it’s spreading positivity, one meme at a time. Whether he’s keeping his followers hooked with those iconic 1 AM doggo pics or dropping knowledge bombs on mental health and animal welfare, Ted’s got it all. Catch him being the king of late-night laughs and social good on Instagram (@tedthestoner), X (@tedthestoner), and YouTube (@TedTheStoner). His blend of laughter, advocacy, and authenticity is the real currency behind his ever-growing success.

But long-term? Ted’s got bigger dreams. He’s always been passionate about animals, and he’s setting his sights on opening an animal shelter to help abandoned animals. It’s a project close to his heart, and if his Instagram following is any indication, it’s going to be huge.
The End? Nope, Just the Beginning for Ted the Stoner
Ted the Stoner’s journey from meme-maker to movement creator is proof that being an influencer can mean more than just brand deals and followers.
