Pot of Greed is an iconic Spell card from the Yu-Gi-Oh! trading card game and anime series. While its effect is incredibly simple—allowing a player to draw two cards from their deck—the anime characters famously explained its function with dramatic flair every single time it was played. This repetitive exposition became a legendary meta-joke within the community, turning the card into a symbol for over-explaining the obvious. In competitive play, the card is often banned because of its sheer efficiency, adding to its notoriety. Today, the meme is used to mock people who state the obvious or to represent situations involving excessive gain and greed.
