The 'What a Twist!' meme originates from the Adult Swim stop-motion sketch show Robot Chicken, specifically a segment parodying filmmaker M. Night Shyamalan. Known for his signature plot twists in films like The Sixth Sense, the caricature in the show constantly shouts the phrase whenever a reveal—no matter how nonsensical—occurs. Since its debut, the meme has become the internet's go-to reaction for mocking unnecessary plot developments, bizarre news stories, or genuinely surprising life events. It perfectly encapsulates the feeling of a forced or dramatic reversal of expectations, often used with a sense of irony or sarcasm.
