The Laughing Chris Evans meme, often associated with the 'Problematic Fave' tag, stems from various press junket interviews where the actor exhibits his signature, full-bodied laugh—frequently involving him leaning back and clutching his chest. The template gained massive traction on Tumblr and Twitter as fans began using his infectious reaction to represent the internal conflict of finding something objectively problematic or controversial hilarious. It has since evolved into a universal symbol for uncontrollable laughter, often paired with captions about dark humor, embarrassing relatable moments, or inside jokes within the Marvel Cinematic Universe fandom.
