AboutWhat does the meme depict?
The 'Think, Mark' meme features a still image of Omni-Man, a main character and antagonist from the Amazon Prime show 'Invincible,' during a dramatic moment where he is yelling. In the image, Omni-Man, voiced by JK Simmons, is depicted in mid-speech, appearing frustrated and commanding. The visual intensity of his expression and the scene's dramatic context have made this image a popular choice for memes and various artistic redraws where users create humorous or pointed dialogues mimicking a parental reprimand.
OriginWho did it first?
The 'Think, Mark' meme originates from the eighth episode of the first season of 'Invincible,' which aired on April 30, 2021. In a pivotal scene, Omni-Man, who has an upper hand in a fight against his son Invincible, delivers a heated lecture. Intent on teaching his son a harsh lesson about their reality, he combines physical dominance with emotional manipulation, culminating in him shouting for his son to 'think' about the broader consequences of their actions. This specific moment, particularly when Omni-Man yells, captures the essence of the meme. It gained traction as an exploitable format for memes after being highlighted in videos and social media posts, such as this scene from the episode on YouTube and a widely-shared post on Twitter (now X) by user @Void_Dot_Ex, presenting the dialogue in a tone similar to a parent scolding a child.[1]
