The 'I'm an Anteater' meme is a classic example of early internet absurdist humor, typically featuring a person in a realistic or slightly creepy anteater costume. The most iconic version of the meme surfaced in the mid-2000s on imageboards like 4chan and Something Awful, often accompanied by the aggressive yet nonsensical caption 'FUCK YOU, I'M AN ANTEATER.' It captures a specific brand of randomness where the humor stems from the sheer bizarreness of the costume and the unearned confidence of the subject. Over the years, it has become a staple of 'weird internet' culture, used as a non-sequitur response or a way to shut down an argument with sheer, unexpected absurdity.
