The 'Strange, Isn't It?' meme originates from the 1996 Sonic the Hedgehog Original Video Animation (OVA), specifically during a scene where Metal Sonic confronts Sonic. The phrase is spoken by Metal Sonic as he contemplates the connection and shared data between himself and his organic counterpart. In meme culture, the image is used as a reaction to highlight hypocrisy, logical fallacies, or ironic coincidences. It gained significant traction on platforms like Twitter and Tumblr, where users pair the robotic, cold delivery of the line with everyday observations that don't quite add up, making it a staple for deadpan internet humor.
