Small Potato Stuff Meme Explained

Small Potato Stuff is a catchphrase meme that originated from a scene in the MCU film Spider-Man: Brand New Day, released on July 31st, 2026. The dialogue is notably the same part in which the Spider-Man Feet Scene takes place. During the scene, Belova (portrayed by actress Florence Pugh) dismisses the crimes and problems Spider-Man (Tom Holland) deals with as “small potato stuff,” contrasting them with the “big potato stuff” handled by herself and the New Avengers. Variations of the phrase include “small baby potato stuff” and “big potato brain stuff.” The phrase is a playful variation of the English idiom “small potatoes,” which refers to something minor, insignificant or relatively unimportant. After the movie's release, the quote became used in a series of memes and other content in which people compare "small potato stuff" vs. "big potato stuff" or use the line over scenery, encouraging people to relax and remember that a problem they're having is just a temporary thing that will pass.
