The Calvin Candie meme, also known as the 'Laughing Leonardo DiCaprio' meme, features a screen capture of the character Calvin Candie from Quentin Tarantino's 2012 film Django Unchained. In the scene, Candie is seen laughing mockingly while holding a small glass of coconut drink. While the film was released years prior, this specific image didn't go viral until mid-2020 on platforms like Reddit and Twitter. It is primarily used to express a sense of smug satisfaction, condescending amusement, or 'gotcha' moments. Users typically add text that depicts a situation where someone is being mocked for a predictable failure or a self-inflicted mistake.
