The 'clenched fist' meme from the animated series 'Arthur', which aired in 1999, gained widespread popularity starting in 2016 thanks to celebrities John Legend and Chrissy Teigen.
The meme's popularity surged after a 2017 tweet comparing John Legend to Arthur, followed by his wife's playful comment. This interaction introduced many to the classic character.
As the meme grew, John Legend humorously admitted he wasn't familiar with Arthur, highlighting the cultural impact of the show even 25 years after its premiere.
In 2018, Legend and Teigen further cemented their connection to the meme in a Google Duo commercial, where Legend wore an outfit reminiscent of Arthur's signature look.
