Pearto is a viral internet character that blends the simple image of a pear with distorted facial features, often reminiscent of the surreal shitposting aesthetics of the late 2010s. While its exact origin is murky, it gained massive traction on platforms like Reddit, Twitter, and Discord as a nonsensical reaction image. The character's appeal lies in its uncanny valley appearance and its versatility in high-irony humor. Often associated with the word 'Pearto'—a play on the name Naruto or simply a rhythmic, catchy title—the meme is used to convey a state of confusion, existential dread, or pure randomness that defies logical explanation.
