The comically large spoon meme is visualized with a hilariously big spoon held by popular Viner King Bach, which reminds us of prop comedy. The origin of the meme is quite simple, it sparks from a pretty simple and funny vine created by King Bach that drew a lot of eyes back in 2013 on the internet.

Spoons are usually famous for their impeccable capacity to fall in bunches right when you sneak into your kitchen to steal a snack at midnight. They have also made it to some of the iconic movie dialogues like The Matrix. Who can forget the dialogue from The Matrix, "There is no spoon," or the war cry, "Spoon!" from the animated movie The Tick? But netizens will also know spoons as part of memes.

If you remember the iconic 1994 comedy movie, The Mask you might have already experienced how prop comedy is visualized on screen. It generally involves a lot of antics and body movements. In some of the hilarious scenes from The Mask, we see an excellent display of such physical comedy, often aided by a prop like a comically big (animated) toy gun, a hammer, or a bazooka.

Possessing the magical powers of the mask, Stanley Ipkiss the lead character from the movie (played by Jim Carry) is testing out his abilities. Once he tries to escape the house and a big, loudly ringing, animated alarm clock falls down from his pocket which he tries to put to rest using a big, animated hammer.

The Vine showcases a similar comical exchange when King Bach's friend allows him to have only one spoon of ice cream. Unexpectedly, Bach brings out a huge silver spoon.

Redditors and memers were quick to catch this humorous scene and used (the almost slapstick) spoon-pulling stunt as a classic meme template.

This meme also came to be as only a spoonful meme. The overexaggerated reaction to a pretty normal conversation came off as funny and hilarious to netizens. This inspired them to come up with their own versions of the meme.

Spoons are otherwise unharming and innocent little metal buddies that lie on your tables and feed us. When memers used their brilliant memeing minds to craft meme templates out of it, everyone was caught by shock.

Some created gifs and shared them on social media platforms like Reddit and X, others took to Instagram to keep the netizens posted on crispy internet memes on a large spoon!
