Family calls their conspiracy theorist relative down from the attic

This is a two-panel humorous meme. The top overlaid text reads: “There’s our little conspiracy theorist. Why don’t you come down here and tell us how we’re all sheep, honey?”. The left panel shows a group of smiling, ordinary middle-class family members seated around a dining room table looking upwards as if calling to someone on a higher level. The right panel shows a pull-down wooden attic staircase, with a deranged-looking cartoon conspiracy theorist character peeking out from the dark attic opening at the top. The joke plays on the stereotype of people who believe fringe conspiracy theories often isolate themselves from mainstream society (hiding in the attic in this case) and dismiss regular people as unthinking "sheep", while their family playfully teases them to come down and explain their views.

Origin notes

This meme was sourced from the RSS feed of the Reddit r/Meme subreddit, where user-created meme content is shared widely.
