About

Napoleo is an image macro and forced meme depicting French military officer Napoleon Bonaparte next to a misspelled version of his name reading, "Napoleo." In late October 2023, X / Twitter user @Azuricringel made a post claiming to have dreamt up the meme. A year later, YouTuber Matt Rose then encouraged his followers to spread the meme, and a week later, he posted a video reacting to the inorganic growth of the format as it began spreading as a forced meme.

My general belief has always been that posting an original meme with "i saw this meme in a dream" is just a padded way of sharing something that you're worried might be cringe or flop, therefore giving you a reasonable out if it is indeed cringe or does indeed flop. Maybe softens the blow a bit, like, "haha yeah I tooootally didn't come up with that unfunny joke on my own, it was just a silly dream."
