The 'Florida Man' meme stems from a recurring phenomenon where news outlets report on bizarre or outlandish crimes and incidents involving male residents of Florida. It first gained widespread internet fame around 2013 via Twitter and Reddit, leading people to joke that 'Florida Man' is actually the world's worst superhero. The meme highlights the eccentricity of the Sunshine State, often fueled by generous public record laws that make these strange stories easily accessible to the media. Users typically format the meme as a news broadcast screenshot or a newspaper clipping to announce a fictional or real-life absurdity involving wildlife, fast food, or strange weapons.
