The 'Tutel' meme is a wholesome internet phenomenon featuring a small, often low-resolution video of a turtle—most famously a diamondback terrapin—appearing to dance or spin happily. The meme gained massive traction on platforms like TikTok and YouTube, typically accompanied by a high-pitched voice shouting 'Tutel!' followed by upbeat, distorted music. It represents a shift toward 'low-poly' or 'low-quality' humor where the simplicity and cuteness of the subject provide a sense of pure, uncomplicated joy. It is widely used to express happiness, excitement, or simply to break up more serious content with something lighthearted and 'smol'.
