The 'Angelina Jolie's Leg' meme originated during the 84th Academy Awards in 2012 when the actress posed on the red carpet in a black Atelier Versace gown. Her exaggerated stance, purposefully thrusting her right leg through a high slit, immediately went viral, sparking the Twitter handle @AngiesRightLeg which gained thousands of followers overnight. Within hours, the internet was flooded with 'legbombing' photoshops where her limb appeared on historical figures, monuments, and famous paintings. The meme captures themes of showing off, seeking attention, or a singular element of a situation being disproportionately noticeable compared to everything else going on.
