The 'Pizzagate' meme typically utilizes imagery associated with intensive, often frantic, investigation and conspiracy theorizing, most famously depicted by Charlie Day in front of a red-string-covered mailroom board or Pepe the Frog dressed as a detective. Originating from the 2016 online conspiracy theory, the meme has evolved beyond its specific political roots to represent the universal feeling of trying to explain a complex, fringe, or nonsensical topic to an uninitiated audience. It is widely used to mock those who see patterns where none exist or to humorously break down overly complicated lore in fandoms, gaming, and internet culture.
