Description

Genius is an ironic meme of an unintelligent person with a red text on the bottom right corner saying genius. The meme is a sarcastic term for someone who is stupid, but may refer to the unintelligent person as a genius, or to make humor of the person.    

History

The earliest comic using the Genius face was submitted by Cheezburger user antihero to the four pane comic site Comixed on September 1, 2011. Titled Idiot Savant Says…, the comic depicts a tablet user who is frustrated with typing on the touch screen and attempts to solve the problem by buying a case with a keyboard, making the tablet function just like a laptop. Meanwhile, it remains unclear whether the character was traced from a photographic image or posted anywhere prior to this comic.

The following day, Memebase user Viktor_Alekzander posted a response comic suggesting that the face should be further developed into a rage comic character. On December 27, 2011, the Genius character was added to the web comic generator site All The Rage Faces, followed by several appearances throughout Memebase between January and March, We Know Memes in March 2012 and August 2012. Additional instances have appeared on Tumblr with the tag “genius meme” on MemeCenter and Reddit.
