The 'Space Movie 1992' meme centers around the 1992 short film 'Gayniggers from Outer Space,' a blaxploitation sci-fi parody. The meme usually takes the form of a deceptive warning, where users tell others 'Whatever you do, don't Google the space movie from 1992.' This bait-and-switch tactic relies on the shock value of the film's provocative title to surprise unsuspecting internet users. It gained massive traction on platforms like Reddit, Twitter, and TikTok as a form of 'rickrolling' or internet hazing, where the punchline is the search result itself rather than the content of the movie.
