The 'Clearly You Don't Own An Air Fryer' meme originated as a non-sequitur caption paired with a highly edited, smug-looking image of Robert Downey Jr., often associated with the 'Tony Stark Stuff' series of ironic memes. It parodies the perceived elitism of air fryer owners who frequently boast about the appliance's efficiency. Gaining massive traction on Twitter and TikTok around 2021, the template evolved to feature various characters looking down on the viewer. It is now widely used to dismiss someone's opinion or to project a sense of hilariously unearned superiority in any argument.
