The Stoner PhD meme, also widely known as '10 Guy,' features a photograph of a young man who appears significantly intoxicated. The image first surfaced on Reddit in 2011 and quickly became the internet standard for representing 'stoner logic'—those specific observations that sound incredibly deep in the moment but are actually nonsensical or hilariously obvious. While the character is often used to depict someone at a maximum level of intoxication, the Stoner PhD variation specifically highlights the pseudo-intellectual breakthroughs and absurd philosophical questions that have become a staple of internet humor.
