The origin
Two panels place an ordinary drawing of Pooh above a version of him in formal dress, pairing a plain statement with a fancier restatement of the same thing.
How it spread
It spread from 2017 as a way to mock pretension, and later as a way to mock the format itself.
What it means
Elevated phrasing that adds nothing. The bottom panel is always the same idea wearing better clothes.
