The 'Trade Offer' meme originated from a TikTok video posted by user @bradeasy in early 2021, featuring him dressed in a sharp suit and presenting a formal business proposal. The visual style mimics a video game trade menu, instantly becoming a hit for its versatility in satirizing unbalanced or absurdist transactions. It typically highlights a humorous exchange where one party gets something significantly better than the other, often used to depict relatable social scenarios, gaming logic, or interactions with pets. The meme's formal aesthetic combined with ridiculous demands makes it a staple for internet commentary on any lopsided agreement.
