About

Yeah, This Is Big Brain Time refers to an image of YouTuber Markiplier with his forehead humorously enlarged, captioned "Yeah, it's big brain time." Online, the image has been used in memes, usually in reference to either particularly intelligent or particularly stupid decisions.

Origin

On April 20th, 2019, YouTuber Markiplier uploaded a Baldi's Basics let's play video titled "Baldi's Basics 1 Year Birthday Bash."[1] In one part of the video, Markiplier manages to hide from Baldi in a classroom and brags about his decision-making, with his head being humorously enlarged via a video effect as if it held a disproportionally big brain.

When you write a poem for your favorite doki and get a perfect streak of their preferred words Yeah, this is big brain time. When the microwave keep heating the bowl but not the food so you put the food in the microwave without the bowl Yeah, this is big brain time. 60 Seconds and 1 minute aren't really the same? This is a bit of a random question, but the answer ha sbeen bugging me for a long time. Ok so... On a microwave, if you push 60, then it will cook for 60 seconds or one minute (Following me?) AND if you also press 1:00 it will cook for one minute, or 60 seconds. (Right, right?) OKI Well, my question is.... If you add 1:00 1:00 it is 2:00 right? So your food will cook for a total of two minutes. BUT if you add 60 seconds +60 seconds it will only cook for one minute and twenty seconds. Even though 60 seconds is one minute? know, confusing question.) I guess to put it into simpliest terms, How come 1 minute 1 minute 2 minutes, but 60 seconds +60 seconds only one minute and twenty seconds? Yeah, this is big brain time.
