The 'Hot Ones' meme originates from the popular YouTube series hosted by Sean Evans on the First We Feast channel. The show features celebrities being interviewed while eating increasingly spicy chicken wings, leading to hilarious, sweat-filled, and sometimes delirious reactions as they reach 'The Last Dab.' The meme templates typically focus on Sean's intense questioning or the guest's physical struggle with the heat. It is widely used to represent situations that start easy but become progressively more difficult, or to highlight moments of extreme honesty under pressure.
