The 'What Pretending to Be Crazy Looks Like' meme originates from the popular YouTube channel JCS - Criminal Psychology, which features body language analysis of police interrogations. Specifically, it refers to narrations explaining the behavior of suspects who try to feign mental illness or a 'psychotic break' to avoid legal consequences. The meme exploded on TikTok and Twitter as a way to mock people who are being overly dramatic, 'edgy', or fake for attention. It typically pairs a photo or video of someone acting 'weird' with the signature font and clinical tone of the original videos, turning serious forensic analysis into a versatile tool for roasting social media cringe.
