The 'You Smell Like You Farted' meme originated from a viral video featuring a young boy recording himself delivering the insult with surprising intensity. Characterized by its low-fidelity audio and the boy's close-up facial expressions, the clip became an instant hit on platforms like Vine and later TikTok. It is frequently used in 'roast' compilations or paired with surreal filters and loud sound effects to create a chaotic comedic effect. The meme thrives on the simplicity and juvenile nature of the insult, making it a versatile tool for internet trolls and creators looking to add a touch of nostalgic, cringe-inducing humor to their content.
