The Pepe the King Prawn meme, aka the Orange Muppet meme, is an image from the 1999 film Muppets in Space of the orange messy-haired puppet wearing an apron and staring blankly ahead. After a TikTok video by creator @caitycline21 went viral in November 2024, a trend began on the platform using this screenshot to express how the user felt while telling an embarrassing or horrifying story.
