AboutWhat does the meme depict?
The 'Freud Is Right' meme typically revolves around Sigmund Freud, the Austrian neurologist and psychoanalysis pioneer, particularly focusing on his theories about dreams, repression, and the Oedipus complex. The meme usually depicts either a photoshopped or deepfake image of Freud paired with text that humorously affirms his psychological theories, especially in scenarios relating to familial dynamics such as the relationships between individuals and their parents.
OriginWho did it first?
The 'Freud Is Right' meme format gained popularity on TikTok starting in September 2022. It features deepfakes of Sigmund Freud 'dueting'—a feature on TikTok that allows users to add their own video next to another user's video—with various clips. These interactions humorously make it seem as if Freud is validating his psychological theories based on the content of the original video.[1]
