The 'Therapist: No' meme, often formatted as 'Therapist: [X] isn't real, it can't hurt you / [X]: [Visual]', is a popular internet format used to showcase cursed or surreal images. The joke centers on the irony of a therapist trying to provide logical comfort against a fear that is then immediately and absurdly manifested visually. Rising to prominence in late 2018 and early 2019, the template highlights how specific, bizarre combinations of objects or characters can create an irrational sense of unease. It is a staple for surreal humor, often featuring edited celebrities, strange food combinations, or hybrid pop culture characters that defy reality.
