This meme is often used across various online platforms to express disbelief or amazement in a humorous context.
OriginWho did it first?
The 'Impossibru' meme originated from a still image taken from a hidden-camera prank show called Panic Face King popular in Japan. The subject of the meme is Ayumu Kato, a Japanese comedian who was pranked on the show. During the episode, Kato was led to believe he was attending a business meeting with several businessmen, who were actually actors. The meeting is abruptly disrupted as the actors are seemingly shot by snipers, causing Kato to panic and fall to the floor. The prank escalated with a man in body armor appearing to retaliate against the snipers, followed by another individual who reveals to Kato that he was on a prank show. This intense and surprising scenario led Kato to make the memorable face captured in the meme. The episode gained additional exposure when it was uploaded to YouTube by the user clicktoriscom on January 29th, 2010.[1]
