The Skeleton Appears is a surreal internet meme featuring a 3D-rendered, low-poly skeleton that often spins or glides into view. While skeletons have long been a staple of internet culture, notably within the Spooktober phenomenon, this specific iteration gained traction around 2021 as a non-sequitur reaction image or video. It is frequently used in ironic contexts to signal an abrupt, nonsensical end to a conversation or to celebrate the sudden arrival of something unexpected. The meme's charm lies in its simplicity and the distinct, somewhat dated aesthetic of the animation, making it a favorite among Discord users and Twitter shitposters seeking a quick laugh.
