Meme lore
What is the What If I Told You meme?
The What If I Told You template uses Morpheus’s solemn, all-knowing expression to frame an apparent revelation. The top caption sets up the thought, while the bottom caption delivers an obvious, surprising, or humorously mundane truth.
Origin & history
This template is based on a close-up still of Morpheus, played by Laurence Fishburne, from The Matrix (1999). Online meme usage repurposed his serious expression as the setup for a mock-philosophical statement, usually split between a premise above and a punchline below.
