This meme expresses offbeat humor and absurdity. It captures the idea of turning a serious work into something ridiculous yet endearing. The dominant emotion is amused surprise at the creative subversion of a well-known classic.
Where does the “Wizard People, Dear Reader” meme come from?
Brad Neely, an artist from Arkansas, created this work in 2003 or 2004. The inspiration reportedly came to him in a bar. The first documented public showing was at the New York Underground Film Festival in 2004. The film was screened without sound while Neely’s recording played. The Illegal Art website later offered free downloads. Warner Bros eventually intervened, canceling some live performances. The title refers less to a specific image than to this particular parody dub format.
