TooSmart

TooSmart is used sarcastically to mock someone (including oneself) for overthinking something simple, making an overly complicated explanation, or pretending to be more intelligent than they actually are. It can also be used genuinely to acknowledge a clever play, smart strategy, or when someone makes a particularly insightful comment. The wine glass adds a layer of sophistication and pretentiousness to the emote, enhancing the sarcastic or humorous effect.

TooSmart is a 7TV emote that features a distorted image of a person's face with an enlarged forehead, holding what appears to be a wine glass. The emote is part of the 'big brain' or 'galaxy brain' meme family that became popular in the late 2010s. The exaggerated forehead is meant to represent intelligence or overthinking. This particular variant became popular on 7TV around 2020-2021 as streamers and viewers adopted it for their channels.

Common situations where TooSmart appears include: when a streamer overcomplicates a simple game mechanic or puzzle; when chat members write lengthy, pseudo-intellectual explanations; during 'big brain plays' in competitive games that either work brilliantly or fail spectacularly; when someone uses unnecessarily complex vocabulary; or when viewers want to mock armchair experts in chat. It's frequently spammed alongside other intelligence-related emotes like '5Head' or when streamers are engaged in puzzle games, strategy games, or trying to solve problems in creative but convoluted ways.
