Animojis were introduced by Apple in 2017 alongside the iPhone X, utilizing Face ID technology to map a user's facial expressions onto 3D emoji characters. While originally intended as a messaging feature, they quickly evolved into a cultural phenomenon through 'Animoji Karaoke' and various social media sketches. Users utilize these digital avatars—ranging from the iconic poop emoji to the alien and unicorn—to deliver jokes, sing popular songs, or express emotions that feel too awkward for a standard video. The meme style typically relies on the juxtaposition of a serious or dramatic message being delivered by a cartoonish, expressive character, making it a staple of modern mobile humor.
