Speech Bubbling is a digital reaction technique used to mock or satirize a person's post by overlaying a speech bubble graphic onto it. Most commonly seen on platforms like Discord and Twitter, the meme suggests that the content directly above the bubble is a quote from the person or character pictured below. While the visual trope of speech bubbles has existed since the dawn of comics, its modern use as a meta-meme to discredit 'bad takes' gained massive traction in the late 2010s. It is frequently paired with ironic imagery or specific reaction characters to highlight the perceived absurdity or stupidity of a previous comment in a thread.
