The "catfish" meme is derived from the practice of catfishing, where someone creates a fake online persona to deceive others. It often highlights the humorous or shocking disparity between a person’s online image and their real-life appearance or behavior. Memes typically feature before-and-after images or text exchanges that reveal the deception, playing on the theme of illusion versus reality. The term itself originated from the 2010 documentary "Catfish," which showcased such an online deception. These memes resonate with audiences due to increasing awareness of online identity manipulation, offering both cautionary tales and comedic relief in the digital age.
