About the Expanding Brain meme template
Five panels, five levels of enlightenment: a normal brain, a glowing brain, a cosmic brain, a being of pure energy, and finally a transcendent meditating figure bathed in light. Each step is supposed to represent a 'smarter' take, even when it's actually just a dumber one dressed up in fancy language.
This is the go-to format for mock-intellectual escalation jokes — ranking opinions, life choices, or hot takes from 'basic' to 'ascended being.' The joke almost always lands funniest when the final panel is the dumbest idea of all.
