The Baby meme, most commonly referring to the character Roshan from the 2002 film Ice Age, became an internet phenomenon centered around a bizarre and ironic collective hatred for the infant. Starting in late 2019 and exploding in 2020 across Reddit and Twitter, users began creating absurdly aggressive memes targeting the 'Ice Age Baby' for its character design and perceived annoying nature. The meme evolved from a niche joke into a versatile template used to express irrational annoyance, exaggerated reactions, or simply to participate in one of the internet's most unusual instances of 'cringe' culture.
