The "Big Brain" meme humorously exaggerates intelligence, often depicting scenarios where someone appears to overcomplicate simple ideas or present absurdly convoluted logic as genius. Its origins trace back to the "Expanding Brain" meme, a multi-panel format that shows progressively larger and more radiant brains as a metaphor for increasingly "advanced" thinking. Initially shared on platforms like Reddit and Twitter, it was used to parody pseudo-intellectualism or unconventional problem-solving. Over time, "Big Brain" became a standalone phrase, applied to jokes, commentary, or sarcastic praise for clever (or absurdly overthought) ideas. It remains a staple of internet humor celebrating creative or ridiculous ingenuity.
