The 'Yuritarded' meme is a prominent example of the 'ligma' or 'Joe Mama' style of verbal traps that gained massive traction online around 2018 and 2019. It functions as a pun-based prank where the joker asks if the target knows a person named 'Yuri,' only to respond with the punchline 'Yuritarded' when the victim asks for more information. While the punchline relies on a play on words that has become polarizing, the meme persists in various ironic shitposting circles. It is typically used in chat screenshots or paired with images of smug characters who have successfully 'trolled' an unsuspecting victim, highlighting the simplicity and absurdity of early internet wordplay pranks.
