The 'Scott Adams Is Right' and 'Scott Adams Cutouts' memes emerged primarily in early 2023 following a series of controversial comments made by the Dilbert creator during a YouTube livestream. These comments led to widespread media backlash and the removal of his comic strip from major syndicates. The phrase 'Scott Adams was right' was adopted by various online communities as both a sincere defense and an ironic catchphrase regarding social observations. Concurrently, images of Scott Adams with life-sized cardboard cutouts of himself or other figures began circulating, adding a surreal, self-referential layer to the meme. It is now frequently used to comment on social trends, 'cancellation' culture, and the absurdity of modern online discourse.
