Reunion Videos have become a cornerstone of wholesome internet culture, typically featuring soldiers returning home, pets seeing their owners after years, or long-lost friends embracing. While originally shared for their genuine emotional impact, the 'Reunion Video' genre evolved into a meme format where users contrast the high-stakes emotion of the footage with their own mundane or socially awkward lives. These memes often poke fun at the 'ugly crying' reaction viewers have or use the footage ironically to describe reaching a minor milestone, like finally finding a lost charger or the delivery driver arriving with food. It captures that universal human feeling of being moved by a stranger's joy while often adding a layer of self-deprecating humor.
