The 'Shooting Stars' meme featuring the 'Jumper' originated from a viral video titled 'Fat man jumping off bridge' first uploaded around 2013. While the subject is an unidentified man, his leap became a cornerstone of internet culture when paired with the 2009 track 'Shooting Stars' by the Australian duo Bag Raiders. In this specific scene, the man leaps from a bridge in a white t-shirt, but as the synth-heavy beat drops, he is rotoscoped out of the reality of the river and into a psychedelic journey through space, oceans, and digital landscapes. This clip is the ultimate representation of 'transcending reality' or losing control in a hilariously surreal way. It is commonly used to mock physical fails, sudden realizations, or the feeling of being overwhelmed by a sensation. Relatable scenarios include hitting a 'funny bone,' entering a food coma, or simply falling into a deep sleep. Example captions include: 'When you hit your elbow just right' or 'Me after taking a 5-minute nap that lasted 5 hours.'
