X, X Everywhere
Where it came from
A scene from Toy Story (1995) where Buzz Lightyear points out a shelf to Woody and says "X, X everywhere". Became one of the earliest cartoon-based image macros in the early 2010s.
Buzz Lightyear gestures dramatically to the horizon while Woody looks on in mild alarm. The caption is always "[X], [X] everywhere", where X is whatever thing is suddenly inescapable in your life. "Job applications, job applications everywhere." "Sponsored posts, sponsored posts everywhere."
It's an old-school image macro — pre-dates most of the modern format memes — and it works because the gesture is so broad and so universal. Buzz is basically pointing at the entire concept of X. Whatever you put in there, it feels like everything is drowning in it.
Older meme, not trendy anymore. Still legible to anyone who grew up with it, but younger users would probably call it dated.
