The Don Draper Whiteboard meme stems from the critically acclaimed AMC series Mad Men, featuring the protagonist Don Draper (played by Jon Hamm) standing confidently next to a whiteboard during a presentation. While the original scene depicts a high-stakes advertising pitch, the internet transformed the image into a versatile format for explaining complex logic, fan theories, or controversial opinions. It became a staple on social media platforms like Twitter and Reddit, often used to humorously 'prove' a point or outline a convoluted plan with the authority of a Madison Avenue creative director.
