What is the Black Guy Looking Around Tree meme?

Black Guy Looking Around Tree (also known as the Rubbing Hands meme) is a reaction image of comedian and former NFL player Anthony Adams peeking from behind a tree while rubbing his hands together with a mischievous grin. It captures the feeling of scheming, eager anticipation, or getting ready to enjoy drama about to unfold.

Origin & History

The photograph features Anthony Adams, a former Chicago Bears defensive tackle who transitioned into comedy and social media content after his NFL career. Adams posted the image as part of his comedic persona, striking a pose that exaggerated eager scheming - peeking from behind a tree and rubbing his hands like a cartoon villain.

The photo spread across Twitter, Reddit, and Instagram in 2017 as a reaction image for moments of anticipation: waiting for gossip, spotting an opportunity, or preparing to enjoy someone else's misfortune. It became one of several Adams reaction memes (alongside the yellow-jacket variant) used whenever someone is visibly plotting or cannot wait for something to happen.
