In popular culture[edit]
In late 2021, Mr. Incredible became the subject of an Internet meme commonly referred to as "Mr. Incredible Becoming Uncanny". The meme features an illustration of Bob Parr, who becomes more traumatized, distorted, and horrific as a variety of topics and facts are gradually presented (usually with context), in an unsettling manner.[6][7] The meme originated from a realistic render of the character by animator Nathan Shipley that was created using an artificial intelligence program.[8] In 2022, the meme gradually gained popularity, and eventually several variations were created, including Mr. Incredible Becoming Canny, where by contrast, he becomes more happy and excited.
