About

Aang Sees Past Avatars refers to an object labeling meme featuring a still from Avatar: The Last Airbender. The still shows the protagonist Aang seeing a vision of all his past incarnations or Avatars lined up, with Avatar Roku standing closest and turning to face him as his eyes glow. The meme is used to joke about being involved in long and often trivial traditions. The meme format first emerged in 2015.

Origin

In season 2 episode 1 of the Nickelodeon TV show Avatar: The Last Airbender, the protagonist Aang has a vision where he sees and speaks to all the past versions of himself.[1]

On January 15th, 2015, now-deleted Twitter[2] user @YahBoyAang posted the earliest known meme using a still from the scene, in a tweet where they wrote, "when you realize you're the last nigga in the blunt rotation." The tweet gathered at least 2,000 likes and 1,000 retweets (seen below). On September 20th, 2018, Redditor /u/Realicedteaco posted the earliest known version of the meme to use object labeling to the subreddit /r/MemeEconomy,[3] gathering over 1,000 upvotes in over four years (seen below, right).
