The 'Finna Woke' meme originated from YouTuber Jack Douglass, better known as Jacksfilms, during his satirical 'Yesterday I Asked You' (YIAY) series. The phrase is a deliberate, ironic misuse of African American Vernacular English (AAVE), combining 'finna' (fixing to) and 'woke' (socially aware) to mock people who performatively claim enlightenment or use slang incorrectly. Visually, the meme often features a distorted or extreme close-up of Jack's face, representing a state of hyper-realization. It is widely used across the internet to react to pseudo-profound statements, obvious facts, or to mock the 'woke' culture of the late 2010s with a layer of deep post-irony.
