About
Can't You Take Anything Seriously? is a redraw and exploitable meme format depicting a character who becomes a hyper-realistic drawing after another character says they can't "take anything seriously," followed by them replying "too serious." The format is based on a two-panel webcomic by X / Twitter artist @handji_kyle that was posted in late January 2025. The comic took off as a redraw format, similar to the How Hungry meme, a few days after the original was posted, garnering viral spread mainly on X.
