The Addams Family, originally created by cartoonist Charles Addams in 1938, has evolved through various TV shows and films to become a cornerstone of gothic subculture and meme history. The memes typically celebrate the family's subversion of suburban norms, focusing on Wednesday’s nihilism, Gomez and Morticia’s passionate marriage, or Uncle Fester’s bizarre antics. These templates are widely used to express a love for the macabre, social alienation, or to mock 'normal' societal expectations with a dark, witty edge. Following the massive success of Netflix’s 'Wednesday' series, interest in these templates surged, blending classic nostalgia with modern deadpan humor.
