The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy memes stem from the beloved science fiction series by Douglas Adams, which follows the misadventures of Arthur Dent after Earth's destruction to make way for a hyperspace bypass. The most iconic element is the Guide itself, a portable electronic book with the words 'DON'T PANIC' inscribed in large, friendly letters on its cover. This phrase has become a staple of internet culture, used to mock stressful situations or impending doom with absurd calmness. Additionally, the number 42—the 'Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything'—frequently appears in memes to highlight the absurdity of seeking profound meaning in a chaotic universe. From references to towels as the most useful object in the galaxy to the existential dread of Marvin the Paranoid Android, these memes celebrate the series' unique blend of philosophy and dry British wit.
