Meme lore

What is the IQ Bell Curve meme?

A three-part Wojak template based on a normal distribution chart. The two ends represent supposedly simple or intuitive conclusions, while the center represents a person who overcomplicates the same idea with elaborate reasoning. Captions are typically placed by the low-IQ, midwit, and high-IQ figures.

Origin & history

The format became widely used online as the Midwit meme, pairing a bell-curve or IQ-distribution graphic with Wojak character variants. The exact original artist and first upload of this particular image are unclear.

This image combines the familiar normal-distribution bell curve diagram with three Wojak-style figures: a simple-faced figure at the low end, a crying intellectual figure at the center, and a hooded figure at the high end. It is part of the broader Midwit meme format, whose precise first source is unclear and which spread through imageboards and social media as a way to mock overcomplication or performative expertise.
