Regular Dude is a reaction image and GIF format built around Cyborg from the Cartoon Network animated series Teen Titans Go!1. The base image shows Cyborg holding a football and flashing a thumbs-up in front of an orange, star-scattered background, cropped from a scene in which his pre-superhero self, Victor Stone, tries to join the Teen Titans3.

People use the sticker two ways. The most common is to mock someone for claiming a niche or nerdy identity while listing mainstream tastes, but it also works as a flat insult that just calls the target a regular dude1. A parallel version treats the full Robin-and-Cyborg scene as an exploitable, with editors, often using AI, swapping Cyborg out for other pop culture characters whose defining trait is being unremarkable6.

The Regular Dude format typically works one of two ways. As a plain reaction, people drop the Cyborg thumbs-up sticker or GIF under a comment where someone claims a niche identity backed by mainstream interests1. As an exploitable, the wider Robin-and-Cyborg recruitment screenshot is edited so Cyborg is replaced with a character or real person known for being unremarkable, with the joke often carried by an AI-generated face swap into the original frame6.
