The 'Apparently Kid' meme features five-year-old Noah Ritter, who became an internet sensation in August 2014 during a local news interview at the Wayne County Fair in Pennsylvania. While being questioned about a ride, Noah took the microphone and repeatedly used the word 'apparently' to describe his experiences, delivering his thoughts with an adorable level of confidence and charisma. The video quickly went viral, garnering millions of views and earning Noah several guest spots on The Ellen DeGeneres Show. The meme is widely used to highlight situations where someone is explaining something with newfound authority, or simply to capture the innocent hilarity of a child's unfiltered perspective on life.
