The “I am the Watcher” meme is an image macro featuring a still image from the 2019 HBO series “Watchmen”, of the character Laurie Blake, played by actress Jean Smart, with the superimposed caption “I am the Watcher.” It is typically used to express a sense of omniscience or awareness of a situation or event.
The meme gained popularity in 2020 and has been used in various contexts, including political commentary, pop culture references, and personal anecdotes. It has also been used as a reaction image to express feelings of smugness, superiority, or detachment.
