About

Wack refers to a still of Hannibal Buress on The Eric Andre Show saying the word "Wack." The still is used as a reaction image to describe uncool situations.

Origin

The clip is from season one, episode eight of The Eric Andre Show, which aired July 2nd, 2012,[1] and comes after a segment where Andre does a Mister Rogers parody song (shown below).



Spread

The image of Buress saying "wack" began spreading first on Tumblr two years later. On September 23rd, 2014, user your-butthole posted the image by itself, gaining over 173,000 notes (shown below).

In the following years, the image would be used as a reaction image paired with captions describing mild annoyances. For example, an image on Lolpics using the meme describes waiting for a package with unrealistic expectations (shown below, left). Another image, posted to eBaum's World uses the phrase to describe the feeling of waking up Monday morning (shown below, right).

Buress acknowledged the meme when he used it in a tweet on July 29th, 2017 (shown below, left). He also tweeted an example of the meme referencing the Who Killed Hannibal? meme (shown below, right).
