The Felix Baumgartner Lulz meme stems from the historic Red Bull Stratos mission on October 14, 2012, when the Austrian skydiver jumped from the stratosphere. As millions watched the live stream of him standing on the edge of his capsule 128,000 feet above Earth, the internet immediately began creating humor by photoshopping him into various ridiculous scenarios. Common variations include Felix jumping into a giant ball pit, being chased by space monsters, or reacting to everyday situations from an extreme height. The meme celebrates both the awe-inspiring feat and the internet's ability to turn a high-stakes scientific moment into a comedic masterpiece.
