About
Humor Switch Activated is a reaction image macro series featuring stills of the Ninjago character Zane laughing (similar to I Have Achieved Comedy).
Origin
On February 22nd, 2012, the episode "Tick Tock" of Ninjago aired.[1] In the episode, the character Zane (voiced by Brent Miller) reveals himself to be a robot and says, "The reason I never had a sense of humor was because my funny switch wasn't on" (shown below).
On February 6th, 2020, Redditor [2] cucumber-salad- published a collage of Zane laughing with the text "humor switch activated." They captioned the post, "When you hold the door for your guy friends and say 'ladies first.'" The post received more than 350 points (100% upvoted) in less than one week (shown below)
Spread
That day, the image macro began spreading to other subreddits, such as /r/Megaten[3] and /r/memes[4] (examples below, left and center, respectively).
On February 11th, Redditor[5] TheProleriat shared the original "ladies first" version on the /r/dankmemes subreddit, where it received more than 18,000 points (97% upvoted) and 115 comments in less than 24 hours.
The following day, a variation of the meme posted by ur_egg in the /r/memes subreddit,[6] which used the image to describe the joy a member of the Baby Boomer generation finds from a comic mocking younger people, received more than 20,000 points (94% upvoted) and 100 comments in less than 24 hours (shown below, right).
