The 'First Guy To' meme, frequently featuring the 'Blinking White Guy' (Drew Scanlon) reaction image, satirizes the bizarre nature of human discoveries throughout history. By imagining the confused or startled internal monologue of the first person to perform mundane but strange tasks—like milking a cow, eating an oyster, or discovering fire—the meme highlights the absurdity of societal evolution. The format gained massive traction on Twitter and Reddit in late 2019, evolving into a versatile template for questioning the logic behind ancient inventions and modern habits through a lens of comedic bewilderment.
