What is the Fastest Thing Possible meme?

The Fastest Thing Possible meme (also known as The Fastest Things On Earth) is a four-panel comparison chart ranking things by speed, from a cheetah to an airplane to the speed of light, ending with an absurd fourth entry that somehow beats them all. The joke escalates from real physics to personal or ridiculous scenarios that feel impossibly fast.

Origin & History

Webcomic artist Chris McCoy posted 'The Fastest Things On Earth' to his Safely Endangered series on Webtoons on December 6, 2020. The comic listed four speeds: a cheetah, an airplane, the speed of light, and 'running downstairs on Christmas morning.' McCoy shared it on Instagram and Facebook later that month, where it gained tens of thousands of likes.

Reddit users quickly turned the chart into an exploitable meme template. On December 19, 2020, a Redditor posted an edited version to r/MemeEconomy that gained over 20,000 upvotes, and the format spread across r/memes, Twitter, and Instagram. The fourth slot became the punchline panel, with edits referencing everything from manhole covers on nuclear tests to sprinting to the bathroom after holding it.
