Geedis and the Land of Ta is one of the internet’s most fascinating modern mysteries. The character, a rotund yellow creature, first gained viral fame in 2017 when comedian Nate Fernald discovered a mysterious pin featuring the monster and could find no information about its origins. For two years, internet sleuths worked together to uncover the source, eventually tracing it back to a 1981 sticker sheet produced by the Dennison company. Today, Geedis is a cult icon of surreal and nostalgic humor, often used to represent an ancient, unexplainable, or oddly comforting presence. The meme thrives on the weird aesthetic of 80s children's illustrations and the collective joy of solving a decades-old cold case of pop culture trivia.
