The 'He Was in the Amazon With My Mom' meme originated from the first trailer for the Sony Marvel film Madame Web, released in late 2023. The line, delivered by Dakota Johnson's character Cassandra Webb, was widely mocked for its awkward, clunky, and overly expository delivery. Social media users on X (formerly Twitter) and TikTok immediately latched onto the phrase 'researching spiders right before she died,' turning it into a template for mocking bad screenplay writing and absurdly specific character motivations. The meme often highlights the humor in forced exposition or is used as a reaction to overly complicated explanations in real-life situations.
