Where does the “What is the point of life?” meme come from?

Maeb is known on Spanish social media for spontaneous livestreams where some banal everyday incident triggers wildly disproportionate, comedic reactions. During one such stream in 2024, a small mishap pushed her to deliver, with deliberately overblown pathos, this existential question that clashed hilariously with how trivial the actual situation was. The clip became a recurring TikTok audio, used to narrate all kinds of minor setbacks filmed with the same theatrical excess.
