The Klinik Tong Fang meme originated from a series of heavy-rotation television advertisements in Indonesia around 2012 for a traditional Chinese medicine clinic. The original ads featured patients giving dramatic testimonials about their recovery from various illnesses. Netizens quickly turned these testimonials into a satirical format, typically following the template: 'I used to suffer from [problem], but after visiting Klinik Tong Fang, [absurd or exaggerated result]. Thank you, Klinik Tong Fang!' This meme became a massive cultural phenomenon in the Indonesian digital landscape, serving as a template for irony and absurdity, often used to mock situations where the 'cure' is more ridiculous than the ailment itself.
