What does the shock emoji mean?

The quintessential reaction for when you are absolutely stunned by the absurdity of it all.

This is the legendary Surprised Pikachu meme, a staple of internet culture used to express feigned or genuine shock at an obvious outcome. Originating from a 2010 episode of the Pokémon anime, it has become the go-to reaction in Discord and Slack for when someone says something completely predictable or when a situation goes hilariously wrong.

When to use it

  • Reacting to an obvious and predictable outcome
  • Expressing mock shock at a silly statement
  • Highlighting a moment of sudden realization
  • Responding to unexpected news in chat
