The 'Kid Named Pubert' meme is a surreal evolution of the 'Kid Named Finger' irony trend, which features actor Jonathan Banks as Mike Ehrmantraut. The original 'Finger' meme subverted a classic wordplay joke by replacing a logical punchline with a blank, deadpan stare. 'Pubert' takes this absurdity a step further, utilizing a nonsensical name—often associated with the Addams Family baby—to heighten the post-ironic humor. Popularized in niche internet circles like r/okbuddychicanery, the meme relies on the juxtaposition of a mundane classroom setup and a bizarrely named character, usually represented by a distorted or low-quality image of Mike. It has since become a staple of modern abstract humor and absurdist shitposting.
