The Hillary Fly meme stems from the second 2016 U.S. presidential debate, where a common housefly landed directly on Hillary Clinton’s face while she was speaking. The moment instantly went viral on social media, with viewers captivated by the fly's persistence and Clinton’s composed reaction. It sparked a wave of 'Lord of the Flies' jokes, conspiracy theories about her being an android, and comparisons to Mike Pence’s later encounter with a fly. Today, it remains a classic example of how a tiny, unexpected event can overshadow high-stakes political discourse and become an enduring internet sensation used to mock the absurdity of televised debates.
