The 'Winnie the Pooh Reading' meme, often associated with a squinting or concerned-looking Pooh, originated from the 1990s animated series 'The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh.' In the specific scene, Pooh is seen looking intently at a piece of paper with a confused or skeptical expression. Internet users adopted this image to represent the universal feeling of trying to understand something complex, suspicious, or simply hard to read, such as legal jargon, confusing text messages, or bizarre internet drama. It is a versatile reaction image used to convey doubt or the realization that something doesn't quite add up.
