The History Channel meme, featuring the iconic Giorgio A. Tsoukalos, originated from the documentary series Ancient Aliens. Tsoukalos became an overnight internet sensation due to his distinctive wild hair and enthusiastic hand gestures while promoting the ancient astronaut theory. The template captures his famous pose where he suggests extraterrestrial involvement in human history, typically paired with the simple caption 'Aliens.' Since gaining massive popularity in the early 2010s, the meme has been used to mock oversimplified explanations for complex problems or to sarcastically attribute any minor mystery to alien intervention. It remains a legendary symbol of the History Channel's pivot toward sensationalist programming and conspiracy theories.
