About
Boar Head Exploding is a Boar Memoji version of the Head Exploding emoji depicting a brown hog with a mushroom cloud erupting out from the top of its head. Released in September 2019 as a part of a standard Memoji pack for iOS, the emoticon has been used as a humorous, often bad-mannered reply, and later gained virality as a reaction image in memes.
Origin
On September 19th, 2019, several standard Memoji sticker sets, including a Boar Memoji set, were added to iOS 13.0.[1] The 15 Memoji set included a boar version of the Head Exploding emoji (full set and the Boar Head Exploding Memoji shown below, left and right).

The Memoji did not see presence in memes until December 2021 when a screenshot of a fake message exchange in which the Memoji was used appeared on Reddit (shown below, left). On December 21st, 2021, Redditor Noteggs_ posted the image to the /r/comedyheaven[2] subreddit, where it received over 54,100 upvotes in a year. On July 22nd, 2022, Redditor samarm132 then posted a similar meme to the /r/GoodFakeTexts subreddit, gaining over 3,100 upvotes in five months (shown below, right).
