The Blue Grinch, often accompanied by the nonsensical phrase 'That Feeling When Knee Surgery Is Tomorrow,' is a staple of 'ironic' and 'surreal' meme culture. It features a color-shifted, blue version of the classic Dr. Seuss character, usually looking directly at the viewer with an unreadable expression. The meme gained viral traction on platforms like TikTok and Twitter around 2022, largely due to its complete lack of context and the bizarre specificity of the knee surgery caption. It serves as a parody of relatable 'TFW' memes, pushing the format into the realm of the absurd where the joke is the lack of a joke itself. Today, it remains a favorite for shitposters who enjoy subverting internet trends with nonsensical visuals.
