PepoThink is a variant of the Pepe the Frog emote featuring Pepe wearing a Santa hat with a thoughtful or contemplative expression. It's used to express thinking, pondering, or considering something, often in a Christmas or holiday context. The emote combines the 'thinking' gesture with festive imagery, making it popular during the holiday season for expressing contemplation or skepticism.
Origin
PepoThink is part of the larger Pepe the Frog emote family that originated from Matt Furie's comic character. The 'Pepo' variants emerged as wholesome, cute versions of Pepe that became popular on Twitch and other platforms around 2017-2018. This specific Christmas-themed variant was created and uploaded to platforms like BetterTTV (BTTV) or FrankerFaceZ (FFZ) to provide a seasonal alternative to the standard thinking emotes. The Santa hat addition makes it particularly popular during December and the holiday season, combining the internet's love for Pepe variants with festive theming.
When to use
Used when viewers are contemplating something said by the streamer, expressing doubt or suspicion about a claim, sarcastically questioning a decision, or simply indicating they're thinking about something. Particularly popular during December streams, Christmas events, holiday shopping discussions, or winter-themed content. Often spammed when streamers make questionable decisions or claims during the holiday season, or when chat collectively ponders something together in a festive context.
