The *"What's a father?"* meme originates from a viral clip of a young child innocently asking, *"What's a father?"* The moment was quickly picked up by meme communities, who found humor in its unintentional emotional weight. The phrase became a reaction meme, often used to joke about absent fathers, generational trauma, or cluelessness about traditional family roles. It gained traction on platforms like TikTok, Twitter, and Reddit, frequently paired with exaggerated reactions or sad music for comedic effect. While sometimes used for genuine discussions about fatherhood, its primary appeal lies in its blend of innocence, absurdity, and dark humor.
