About

Nerd Dog or Dog With Glasses, Raised Finger, Buck Teeth is a reaction image of a corgi with fake buck teeth in its mouth, glasses and an index finger Emoji pointing upward photoshopped onto it to make it resemble a nerd. The meme, used similarly to the Nerd Emoji and ackchyually formats, is a version of the Nerd Emoji Raising Finger Emoji memes, which were popularized in Brazil in early 2022. The nerd dog meme became popularized online in late 2022 after it was edited over footage of a news anchor reacting to an earthquake live on-air.

On September 20th, 2022, Redditor u/jdey4 posted a video of a corgi wearing fake buck teeth to /r/funny,[2] garnering over 31,000 upvotes in eight months.
