The Hand on Shoulder Guy meme originates from the 2018 film Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. It depicts the character Aaron Davis placing his hand on his nephew Miles Morales' shoulder while saying a cool, confident 'Hey.' While originally a scene about flirting advice, the internet transformed it into a symbol for intimidation, unexpected pressure, or someone offering unsolicited guidance. Its popularity peaked on Twitter and TikTok, where users paired the image with captions about stressful social interactions or ominous figures.
