The Sigmund Freud meme features the father of psychoanalysis, typically depicted in classic black-and-white portraits looking sternly or thoughtfully. These memes often parody his theories on the subconscious, the ego, and most famously, the Oedipus complex. Usually involving captions that over-analyze simple actions or interpret mundane mistakes as deeply rooted psychological issues, the Freud meme has become a staple in academic and internet humor. It is widely used to poke fun at psychological over-interpretation and 'mom' related humor, solidifying Freud’s legacy as an unintentional pop culture icon.
