The 'Red Circle Perpetrators' meme is a satirical take on internet clickbait culture, specifically targeting YouTube thumbnails that use bright red circles to highlight 'secret' or 'suspicious' details. The template typically features a lineup of characters—often from popular media like The Amazing Digital Circus or Roblox—where one or more are circled to imply guilt or hidden importance. It evolved from the 'Useless Red Circle' trope, where viewers pointed out the absurdity of highlighting obvious objects. Today, it is used to mock dramatic reveal videos or to create surreal, nonsensical 'whodunnit' scenarios that keep the audience guessing about absolutely nothing.
