Suspiciously Shaped Belly / Suspiciously Shaped Wojaks

About

Suspiciously Shaped Belly and Suspiciously Shaped Wojaks refer to a series of memes in which various objects go missing, with an object-shaped person who obviously just swallowed it whole claiming that they have no idea where went. Spawned by a viral Soyjak meme and sometimes referencing vore, the format gained prominence on Twitter and iFunny in Summer 2022.

Origin

Prior to March 2nd, an unknown user posted an image of a Wojak with a bicycle-shaped neck, likely to the Soyjak Party imageboard. On March 2nd, Redditor luphoria reposted the image to the /r/sskfjkhwerjkghwerijh^[1] subreddit, captioning it, "uh, no, haven't seen your bike anywhere…." The post (shown below) gained over 1,200 upvotes in nine months

Spread

The image did not spawn a meme format until early June 2022, when Twitter^[2] user @jackdawjackal reposted the meme, with the post gaining over 1,700 retweets and 18,100 likes in five months. Before June 14th, an unknown user created an image caption meme in which the Wojak denied seeing the bicycle anywhere despite obviously having just swallowed it whole. In the second half of June 2022, the image received viral spread: for example, on June 14th, Instagram^[3] user starving_chungles posted it, with the image gaining over 530 likes (shown below).

The posts inspired memes in which various characters with bellies conspicuously-shaped like a certain object reported not having seeing that object anywhere near, with the memes often using Overly Specific Wojaks and/or referencing vore. For example, on June 7th, Twitter^[4] user @redshibe_ posted a Wojak meme that gained over 560 retweets and 4,100 likes in four months (shown below, left). On July 28th, iFunny^[5] user noon_All_Commies posted a meme that received over 6,600 smiles in four months (shown below, right).

The format has also been used in conjunction with the Ah Eto… Bleh meme format as a video caption meme. For example, on October 6th, 2022, iFunny^[6] user Catastrophist posted a meme referencing the 2022 anime series Cyberpunk Edgerunners that received over 10,700 smiles in one month (shown below).
