The 'Kwispy' meme features a heavily distorted, deep-fried image of Lord Farquaad from the movie Shrek, usually paired with the deliberately misspelled caption 'Kwispy.' It emerged from the surreal meme culture of 2018, following the trend of the 'E' meme and other non-sequitur aesthetic edits. The term is a phonetic spelling of 'crispy,' often used to describe items that are literally burnt or metaphorically 'fried' by internet filters. Today, it serves as a versatile reaction image for situations that are absurd, intense, or when something is satisfyingly crunchy, maintaining its status as a staple of deep-fried internet humor.
