The "What's a father?" meme originated from a viral video clip in which a child asks the question in a confused or innocent tone. The clip became a humorous way to comment on absent or unfit fathers, or situations where a father figure is seen as irrelevant, clueless, or unimportant. It became widely used in the late 2010s, with users adapting it to various contexts where something or someone was perceived as lacking a clear or positive paternal influence. The meme is often paired with absurd or comedic situations, highlighting the unexpectedness or dysfunction of the idea of fatherhood.
