The "hand on shoulder" meme became popular in the late 2010s, typically used to express a mix of comfort, sympathy, or awkward reassurance. The format often features an image of one character placing a hand on another's shoulder, accompanied by a humorous or ironic caption. This meme is commonly used to represent situations where someone is trying to offer support, but the circumstances don't warrant it, or the gesture is oddly timed. It taps into the universal experience of awkward social interactions or offering comfort in a situation where it might not be helpful, adding a layer of comedic irony.
