The 'Holy Crap, A Meteor!' meme template typically depicts a character noticing a massive celestial body hurtling toward Earth, often used as a metaphor for an unavoidable problem, a shocking realization, or a massive trend that can't be stopped. While various versions of meteor-themed comics exist, the format gained traction for its ability to represent 'the next big thing' or a sudden catastrophic event in a humorous, low-stakes way. It is a staple for internet users wanting to illustrate the feeling of seeing a disaster coming from a mile away but being unable—or unwilling—to do anything about it except comment on the spectacle.
