The 'Time Traveller / Wgat It Is' meme is a multi-panel comic format that features a conversation between a confused time traveller and a person from the present or past. The humor stems from the time traveller casually mentioning a catastrophic or world-altering event that hasn't happened yet for the modern person, leading to a moment of existential dread. The 'Wgat It Is' variation often incorporates intentional typos or phonetic slang to enhance the chaotic, frantic energy of the interaction. It gained massive popularity during 2019 and 2020 as users processed global events through the lens of hypothetical future hindsight, making it a staple for dark humor and ironic social commentary.
