The Fancy Winnie the Pooh meme, also known as Tuxedo Pooh, features two versions of the iconic Disney bear: one in his standard red shirt and the other in a formal tuxedo with a monocle. It gained widespread popularity in 2019 after a fan-made edit of a 1974 illustration began circulating on Reddit. The format is used to compare a common, everyday term or idea with a 'fancier' or more pretentious synonym. It quickly evolved into a multi-panel template to showcase increasing levels of faux-sophistication, becoming a staple for internet humor regarding elitism and vocabulary.
