The Attaway General meme stems from the Brat TV digital series of the same name, which features a cast primarily composed of popular TikTok influencers like Dixie D'Amelio and Griffin Johnson. Upon its release in 2020, the show was immediately met with viral mockery across platforms like Twitter and YouTube due to its melodramatic acting, questionable medical accuracy, and the surreal nature of seeing social media stars in a serious hospital setting. The memes typically highlight 'cringe' moments, such as the infamous 'Code Blue' scenes or the general absurdity of influencers performing medical procedures. It is widely used to satirize situations where unqualified people are put in positions of high authority or to mock the 'TikTok-ification' of mainstream entertainment.
