Originating from the 2010 cult classic film Scott Pilgrim vs. The World, this meme captures the moment Scott attempts to impress Ramona Flowers with a random fact about Sonic the Hedgehog. The scene perfectly encapsulates Scott’s social awkwardness and became a staple of internet culture for depicting failed or nerdy flirting. In recent years, the template has evolved into a versatile format where users replace Sonic the Hedgehog with increasingly obscure hobbies, political theories, or niche internet drama. It remains a go-to choice for highlighting those cringe-worthy moments when someone tries to connect through a topic that is hilariously out of place.
