# Oh Shit, That's Deep Oh Shit, That's Deep is an image macro pairing a close-up of the Peon orc from Warcraft III with the Russian caption "ух сука со смыслом," mocking people who find profound meaning in obviously shallow content. It started on Russian sites like VK and 2ch in mid-2018 before crossing over to English-speaking Reddit in early 2019, where a translated version pulled tens of thousands of upvotes on /r/dankmemes. ## Origin The exact first appearance of the captioned image is not pinned down, but the Peon crop was already circulating uncaptioned as a reaction on the Russian imageboard 2ch by July 5, 2018[2]. According to Memepedia, the earliest known use of the captioned version showed up in replies to a tweet by Russian rapper Gnoyny on August 30, 2018[1]. Know Your Meme dates the earliest known captioned post one day earlier, to August 29, 2018, from Twitter user @EGORKRIDSOSET responding to another post[2]. Memepedia notes that some Russian users trace the template further back to a VK community (vk.com/club160064457) that made small Warcraft III comics, though the exact first post there is unconfirmed[1]. The source game, Warcraft III, was developed by Blizzard Entertainment; the meme edit itself is a fan creation and the original editor is not named in any source[2]. - **Platform:** VK / 2ch (Russian origin), Reddit (English spread) - **Creator:** Unknown - **Date:** 2018 ## Overview The image itself is a zoomed-in crop of the Peon, the goofy worker orc from Blizzard's 2003 real-time strategy game Warcraft III, wearing the character's blank, slightly bewildered expression[1]. Slapped across it is the phrase "ух сука со смыслом," usually translated into English as "oh shit, that's deep," and the joke works as a sarcastic reaction to anything a poster wants to mock as fake-profound[1]. The format is ironic by design. It is typically dropped under song lyrics, Twitter thoughts, or motivational posts where someone has strained to read meaning into something that has none, with Russian users originally aiming it at fans of new-school Russian rap[1]. The pixelated 2003-era graphics and the orc's dead-eyed stare are half the humor, since the flat, obviously stupid face reads as the least profound thing possible reacting to supposedly profound content[2]. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### What is Oh Shit, That's Deep?
