What is the Knee Surgery Meme? Well, the meme stems back to 2021 when it first became popular by an anonymous user on memecreator.org, and was more commonly known as the Blue Grinch meme. Fast forward to 2024, however, and few people can explain why the meme has taken off in popularity once again. Viral on TikTok and X (Twitter) in mid-November everyone seems to be referencing 'that feeling when knee surgery is tomorrow' without truly knowing what the meme stands for. Daily Dot say: "The humor lies in its highly specific focus, serving as both," Kapwing, however, belives its just one of those things that goes viral for no reason other than jumping on a trend because it makes such little sense.
