Total Drama memes stem from the Canadian animated parody of reality TV shows like Survivor, which first aired in 2007. The series, known for its diverse cast and host Chris McLean's sadistic challenges, became a staple of internet culture due to its expressive animation and relatable character tropes. Memes typically feature Chris McLean delivering bad news with his signature 'Alright campers' catchphrase or various elimination ceremony reactions. These templates are widely used to describe toxic social situations, dramatic betrayals, or to jokingly 'eliminate' people from group chats and online communities.
