The News Headline meme is a versatile format that parodies the aesthetics of 24-hour cable news networks and local broadcasts. It typically features a prominent 'Breaking News' banner and a dramatic lower-third title. This format gained massive popularity in the early 2010s as a way to spoof current events or elevate mundane personal situations to 'national news' status. By mimicking the visual language of authority and urgency, the meme allows users to present absurd or comedic statements with an ironic sense of importance, making it a staple for social media satire and viral storytelling.
