The 'Are You Seriously Watching Porn By Yourself?' meme originated from an aggressive banner advertisement for an adult browser game. The ad features an anime character addressing the viewer directly with a judgmental tone, which quickly became a target for internet parody. It is most famously used in 'bait-and-switch' videos where the intro of a suggestive clip is abruptly cut off by a completely unrelated or humorous scene, such as a video game character or a historical figure. This template is a staple of 'status' memes and Discord culture, serving as a humorous way to subvert expectations and call out the viewer for their perceived degenerate browsing habits.
