The 'The More You Know' meme stems from a series of public service announcements broadcast by NBC in the United States, starting in 1989. These short segments featured celebrities providing advice on social issues, famously ending with a graphic of a shooting star arching over the phrase. Online, the image became a staple of digital humor, used to cap off obvious observations, sarcastic life lessons, or bizarre facts. It serves as the ultimate visual punchline for unsolicited wisdom or 'mind-blowing' realizations, blending 80s nostalgia with modern internet irony.
