The "Thursday the 20th" meme comes from an episode of The Simpsons in which a rapper is performing on stage wearing a necklace with the words, "Thursday the 20th" on it.
During the episode, Bart attends a rap concert without permission so Lisa and Principle Skinner use footage of the rapper's chain to prove that Bart actually attended the concert.
The meme began spreading back in 2014 when a Reddit user posted a screenshot of the rapper to /r/TheSimpsons with the caption, "Happy Thursday the 20th, everybody!" Ever since then, anytime it's Thursday the 20th, this meme shows up in full force.
In 2017, Thursday the 20th occurred on the same day as famous stoner holiday 4/20 so the image was photoshopped to make the rapper appear high.
Here's a clip from the episode:
