The Domino Effect meme uses a row of increasingly large dominoes to exaggerate how one small event leads to a much bigger outcome. Each tile can stand for a step in the chain.
What does the original show?
The uncaptioned image shows a man about to push the smallest domino in a row of tiles that grow dramatically larger. The original template appears here without added text.
How is it used?
Label the first tile with a small starting event and the last with an unexpectedly large result. Add intermediate steps when they make the escalation funnier.
The image comes from a chain-reaction demonstration by physics professor Stephen Morris. Know Your Meme documents its spread as an object-labeling meme in 2018. Source: Know Your Meme ↗
