deep fried memes

Distorted internet humor

Deep fried memes are images that have been deliberately degraded through extreme saturation, contrast, and compression artifacts until they look like they've been screenshotted and reposted hundreds of times.

The aesthetic mimics what happens when low-quality images circulate endlessly through social media.

The visual corruption is the joke—the worse it looks, the funnier it supposedly is: This meme is so deep fried I can barely read it.
