The 'Da Vinki' meme originated from a TikTok video posted in September 2020 by the Voros Twins, Chris and Patrick, who are known for their distinctively tall, upright hairstyles. In the video, the twins use a trivia filter that asks 'Who painted the Mona Lisa?'. After struggling to read the answer 'Da Vinci,' they simultaneously exclaim 'Da Vinki?!' with genuine confusion and excitement. The clip instantly went viral due to their bizarre pronunciation and enthusiastic delivery. The meme is typically used to represent moments of extreme confusion, hilariously incorrect answers, or any situation where someone misinterprets basic information in an absurd way.
