Which organ is the best?
Overview
This meme combines two elements to create a self-referential joke:
1. A screenshot of a 3-year-old poll from social media personality Doctor Mike asking Which organ is the best?, with results: Skin (17%), Heart (21%), Brain (56%), Spleen (2%).
2. A reaction image of a tiger edited into a suit, holding a cigar with a smug expression, paired with the caption Brain after choosing itself:
The joke hinges on the absurdity that the brain is the organ responsible for making the choice to vote for itself, framing the brain as smug and self-satisfied for picking itself as the best organ.
Origin notes
The meme originates from X.com (formerly Twitter), shared by the account @meme_basement. The top poll is a screenshot from Doctor Mike's (a real-life physician and social media influencer) old post. The bottom reaction image is a widely used meme template featuring a tiger in a suit, often deployed to convey smugness or self-satisfaction. This meme is a remix, combining the poll screenshot with the reaction template to create the humorous narrative.
