Spider Man Triple
Where it came from
From the 1967 Spider-Man animated series, this scene became a meme around 2017 when people started using it to represent confusion, contradiction, or calling out hypocrisy.
The image shows three Spider-Men pointing at each other in confusion, which is absolutely hilarious because they're all the same person basically. The joke is that it perfectly captures that moment when you're calling someone out for being a hypocrite or when two things that seem different are actually identical, or when nobody knows who to blame for something. It's become this universal template for 'who's responsible here?' or 'these are the same thing' type situations. You can caption the Spider-Men with different people, groups, or concepts to show how they're all guilty of the same thing or equally confused about something.
