Peeing, Laughing and Pointing In The Pool

About

Peeing, Laughing and Pointing In The Pool refers to a single-panel comic often used as an image macro and object-labeling meme format. The illustration depicts a group of people peeing in a pool surrounded by yellow-colored water while laughing and pointing at the only man who hasn't done the same and is standing alone in clear water. The meme is often used to joke about what it feels like to be the only one doing something safe, sanitary or simply "right." The exact origin of the drawing is unknown, however, it first appeared online in late 2017. The image saw renewed ironic use in the early 2020s.
