The 'I Am At X' meme originates from the long-running YouTube series by British educator Tom Scott, specifically his 'Amazing Places' videos. Known for his consistent wardrobe—a signature red t-shirt—and his distinct opening line where he announces his current location, Scott became a popular subject for internet parody. The meme involves photoshopping Scott into impossible, dangerous, or fictional locations, such as video game maps or historical events. It captures his earnest delivery and knack for finding fascinating facts, allowing creators to pair his educational tone with surreal, comedic, or dark environments for maximum contrast.
