AboutWhat does the meme depict?
The Mr. Peabody Hypnosis meme features a scene from the 2014 film Mr. Peabody & Sherman. In this scene, the character Mr. Peabody, a bespectacled dog dressed in a red bowtie, is animatedly twirling his hand in a circular motion toward the camera, mimicking a hypnotizing gesture. This scene has been widely used in memes, typically accompanied by captions suggesting Mr. Peabody is hypnotizing the viewer into believing or doing something specific. The meme often incorporates "Gaster's Theme" from the video game Undertale as background music.
OriginWho did it first?
The meme originated from a video posted on YouTube by CallobMemers on July 7th, 2023. This video features the hypnotizing scene from Mr. Peabody & Sherman, set to "Gaster's Theme" from Undertale, and includes fluctuations in video quality. Following this, a significant boost in the meme's popularity occurred when a video was posted on TikTok by user @konyx.0 on May 23rd, 2024. In the TikTok video, the meme is used with a caption that humorously suggests a bed hypnotizing someone to continue sleeping and not attending school, which quickly amassed widespread attention.[1]
