KEKWait is a popular Twitch emote and meme template derived from the legendary KEKW emote, featuring the late Spanish comedian Juan Joya Borja, famously known as El Risitas. While the original KEKW captures his iconic infectious laughter, KEKWait utilizes a specific frame where his expression shifts to one of sudden concern, shock, or realization. It gained massive traction within gaming communities and live streams as the go-to reaction for moments when a situation takes an unexpected, awkward, or disastrous turn. Whether a streamer accidentally leaks personal info or a player realizes they've made a fatal error, KEKWait perfectly encapsulates the transition from peak comedy to instant dread.
