The 'What If It Was Purple?' meme stems from a famous sketch on Adult Swim's 'The Eric Andre Show,' where host Eric Andre aggressively questions a guest's perspective on an object by shouting the eponymous phrase before the object magically turns purple. This clip became an internet sensation for its surreal, non-sequitur humor, emblematic of the show's chaotic style. Fans use the template to mock arbitrary decisions, sudden aesthetic changes, or simply to apply a purple hue to anything from political maps to video game characters. It represents the height of absurdist digital culture where the simple act of changing a color becomes a viral punchline.
