The 'Those Chickens Are Up to Something' meme features Mr. Tweedy, the bumbling antagonist from the 2000 stop-motion film Chicken Run, expressing his growing suspicion that the farm animals are plotting an escape. The phrase became an iconic reaction image used to describe any situation where a group appears to be conspiring or acting suspiciously. It gained significant traction on platforms like Reddit and Tumblr in the late 2010s, often paired with photos of pets, groups of friends, or even inanimate objects that seem to be positioned in an unsettling way. Its humor lies in the paranoid yet accurate intuition of the character, making it a staple for internet conspiracy humor and skepticism.
