The World Record Egg, affectionately known as Eugene, became an overnight global phenomenon in January 2019 when the Instagram account @world_record_egg posted a simple photo of a brown egg with the explicit goal of surpassing Kylie Jenner's world record for the most-liked post. Within days, the collective power of the internet pushed the post to over 50 million likes, proving that even the most mundane objects can achieve superstar status. The meme is widely used to represent underdog victories, the absurdity of social media fame, or as a versatile template for surrealist humor. Following its success, the egg was used in a Super Bowl commercial to raise awareness for mental health, showing the shell cracking under the pressure of internet stardom.
