The 'Woke' meme phenomenon encompasses a variety of templates, most notably the 'Real Shit' Shaquille O'Neal series and the 'Expanding Brain' format. It typically represents a sudden, dramatic shift from indifference to extreme awareness or 'enlightenment,' often signaled by visual effects like deep-frying or glowing eyes. While the term 'woke' has deep cultural and political roots, in the meme world, it is frequently used ironically to highlight absurd realizations or over-the-top reactions to trivial information. Today, it remains a staple for internet humor involving conspiracy theories, life hacks, or sudden moments of clarity.
