Deep Fried Meme is a visual style seen in memes prevalent in the mid-to-late 2010s. It involves applying extensive filters and visual effects to images, resulting in a distorted and visually jarring appearance. Surreal and "dank" elements, such as glowing red eyes, exaggerated emojis, and the Blood Type B square (🅱️), are commonly added.

The style frequently incorporates dark humor, including offensive language, which has generated controversy. Originating on Tumblr in 2015, Deep Fried Memes rapidly gained popularity on Reddit and YouTube. It became associated with the "Band Kid" stereotype, which characterizes teenagers obsessed with Reddit and late 2010s memes, notably Big Chungus. Deep Fried Memes are a prominent example of meta-ironic memes from that period, as they emphasize the nature of meme creation and virality over traditional humor.
