Vector, the bowl-cut sporting antagonist from the 2010 film Despicable Me, became an unexpected internet icon years after his debut. Known for his signature orange tracksuits and his catchphrase regarding direction and magnitude, the 'You Just Got Vectored' meme surged in popularity around 2020. It is primarily used as a bait-and-switch prank, similar to being 'Rickrolled,' where a viewer is unexpectedly shown Vector's triumphant pose. The meme captures his goofy, overconfident energy, making it a favorite for highlighting petty victories, intellectual arrogance, or simply catching someone off guard with absurdist humor.
