Cutting My Family to Check

Text on the meme

me cutting my wife and kids in half to see if they are real or cake

What it means

A person repeatedly cuts rough, ordinary-looking objects with a knife while the caption claims they are cutting their wife and kids to check whether they are real or cake. The clip ends on a flooded canal, making the escalating absurdity and dark anti-joke even more surreal. Grimes’s “Genesis” adds a dramatic, detached electronic mood that heightens the ridiculous situation.
