Lord Buckethead is a satirical political figure in the United Kingdom, famously characterized by his Darth Vader-like costume and a large black bucket for a head. While the character first appeared in the 1984 film 'Hyperspace', he became a viral internet sensation during the 2017 UK General Election when he stood against Prime Minister Theresa May. Representing the Gremloids, his absurd manifesto and dignified stance among serious politicians turned him into a symbol of political protest and surreal humor. The meme is typically used to represent a voice of reason in a chaotic political landscape or to mock the absurdity of modern governance.
