AboutWhat does the meme depict?
The 'Peter Parker's Glasses' meme features a series of images depicting the character Peter Parker from Spider-Man. In the meme, Parker, who is putting on and taking off his glasses, sees different images with each action. The template usually includes multiple panels, highlighting the humorous contrast between what Parker sees with and without his glasses.
OriginWho did it first?
This meme is inspired by a scene from the 2002 film 'Spider-Man', where the protagonist Peter Parker realizes he no longer needs his glasses after acquiring superpowers. The concept became a meme format on August 29th, 2016, following the release of a four-panel image on 9gag, where an image of Hillary Clinton is humorously altered as Peter Parker puts his glasses on and off. This format gained popularity for its comical reimagining of scenes by toggling the glasses. For a direct look at the movie scene that inspired this meme, you can watch it on YouTube. The original meme post can be viewed here on 9gag.[1]
