The 'AGDQ Chair Sniffer' meme originated from a live broadcast of Awesome Games Done Quick (AGDQ), a popular charity speedrunning marathon. During a transition between games, a camera caught an individual leaning down and appearing to sniff a chair recently vacated by a female speedrunner. The footage quickly went viral on platforms like Twitch and Reddit, becoming an iconic symbol of the 'cringe' culture often associated with high-profile gaming events. While the intentions of the person in the video remain a subject of debate, the image has been immortalized as a template to represent obsessive behavior, social awkwardness, or 'simp' energy in niche internet communities.
