The 'History of the Entire World, I Guess' meme originates from the 2017 viral video by animator Bill Wurtz. The 19-minute video uses rapid-fire narration, surreal humor, and a distinct minimalist aesthetic to chronicle the universe's timeline. It became an instant sensation, spawning dozens of reaction templates and catchphrases like 'The sun is a deadly laser' and 'Not anymore, there's a blanket.' The meme style is defined by bright neon text against simple backgrounds, often used to satirize complex political or social situations with Wurtz's signature deadpan delivery and whimsical musical cues. Its enduring popularity stems from its ability to turn academic subjects into digestible, absurdly funny internet culture.
