The 'You're a Genius, You Moron' meme originates from the hit reality TV show Pawn Stars, specifically featuring the show's star Rick Harrison. The phrase is used to describe a situation where someone has come up with a solution or idea that is technically brilliant or creative but fundamentally flawed or unnecessarily complicated. It captures the essence of backhanded praise, perfectly articulating the fine line between innovation and stupidity. Since its debut, the template has become a staple for internet users to mock their own over-engineered life hacks or highlight the absurd logic found in gaming, programming, and everyday problem-solving.
