Weegee is a distorted, MS-DOS version of Luigi originating from the 1992 educational game Mario Is Missing! He became an internet phenomenon in the late 2000s, characterized by his rigid posture and a soul-piercing, blank stare. The meme's primary lore involves the 'Weegee Virus,' where anyone who makes eye contact with him is instantly transformed into a Weegee clone. As a cornerstone of early YouTube Poop (YTP) culture and surreal humor, Weegee represents the unintentionally creepy aesthetic of early 90s edutainment graphics and remains a beloved figure in legacy internet history.
