The Rock Paper Scissors meme has evolved from a simple playground game into a high-octane internet format used to represent inevitable conflicts and surprising outcomes. While the game itself dates back centuries, the video meme format gained traction through dramatic edits, anime-style battles, and POV perspectives where everyday choices are treated like life-or-death decisions. Users typically use this template to show how one thing easily defeats another—like 'The Weekend' beating 'Productivity'—or to parody the intense tension of a tied game. It remains a staple for social commentary because the simple hierarchy of rock, paper, and scissors is universally understood and endlessly adaptable.
