This decade summarised so far

A joke summarizing the chaos of the 2020s decade by showing how much more shocking the world is to someone waking from a coma that started earlier in the decade.

This is a 5-row meme using the popular 'Mr. Incredible Becoming Uncanny' format. Each row pairs a progressively more distorted/horrifying version of Mr. Incredible's face with a description of people who have been in a coma starting at an earlier date: starting from the normal smiling Mr. Incredible for people in a coma since late February (recent, so little change), moving through progressively more uncanny versions for comas starting in late 2024, October 2023, January 2022, and ending with a skeletal skull version for someone in a coma since 2019. The joke highlights how chaotic, shocking, and negative the 2020s decade has been so far— the earlier you went into a coma, the more the world has changed for the worse, leading to a more horrific reaction when you wake up.

This meme originates from Reddit as noted in the provided metadata, with the original title 'This decade summarised so far'. It uses the pre-existing widely popular 'Mr. Incredible Becoming Uncanny' meme template, which is commonly used to illustrate increasing levels of horror or shock surrounding a topic. It spread as a reaction meme summarizing the turbulent nature of the 2020s decade.
