The How to Train Your Dragon meme, typically featuring Toothless making a goofy face while Hiccup gives an encouraging thumbs-up and Light Fury looks on in disgust, originates from the 2019 film 'The Hidden World.' The scene captures Toothless's socially awkward attempt to woo a mate, which resonated with internet users as a perfect metaphor for awkward social interactions or niche interests. It gained massive traction on platforms like Reddit and Twitter, where creators use it to depict one person's weird behavior being supported by a loyal friend while others watch in confusion. The template has since evolved into various formats, including the viral Toothless dancing animation, solidifying the franchise's place in meme history.
