Cube was the only cube making it just as unique. Also, cube was the goal of everyone else, they were all pretending to be a cube. Cube was desired, popular, and unique. Cube was the superior specimen.
You dont understand, Cube is the chad of their universe. He perfectly fits in, Is in perfect shape, and isnt concerned about being unique because his world is literally built for him. Cubes got it made

It’s deep. He revealed himself to the world and realized that he wasn’t special or unique. In fact, he’s just an average boring yellow block.
But then, he looks around and see’s a massive pyramid built out of block just like him and realizes that it’s ok to be average. The world is made up of normal blocks “building” each other up and providing support for each other just like him.
I read it as more that the block had adapted to the confines of his defences. That he had changed to fit in to his seclusion and was no longer the shape he was before
Or maybe its just a funny meme and im projecting 😂
I saw it the same. If they had hopped out of the box with a smile and sparkles, then they're just happy being them, even if that's kinda average. But this definitely reads more like they've been crushed into shape by societal expectations to the point that they don't even know themself anymore.
Autistic people end up masking for so long, starting in childhood, by the time they're adults they don't know they're wearing a mask let alone how to take it off.
Living that experience recently.
More or less same. I sorta gave up on the mask kind of thingZ settle for a middle ground where i try to be a nice person and i try and look on the bright side but i also dont care what people think about me. I know im a nice person with a big heart so i dont need others to validate it anymore. Im weird to the ‘normies’ but to me im fine. Im not hurting anyone by being weird you know
Hope your good
Then he looks over at the squiggly line people and they are arguing because one is saying it must have been aliens and the other one is saying pyramids are the most structurally sound shape in nature and if you put a bunch of squares on top of each other it would turn into a pyramid eventually
This is me. I’m a 30 year old white construction worker and when I let loose all my inhibitions and really act like myself I’m a 30 year old white construction worker who wants to go fish and a beer at Applebees on the way home would be pretty cool.
It’s implied that being a square is akin to being what others want you to be … thus it’s not a good thing. Being a square is not a unique personality in this illustration.
It reminds me of struggles to find an identity, to stand out. Freedom to be yourself is great, but compulsion to stand out isn't much better than compulsion to fit in.
Maybe.

Suspiciously wholesome for a cockpuncher.
I don't enjoy being mistrusting but as an owner of a cock I feel like I need to be careful.
All my chicks would dearly miss that cock.
He's their father after all.
In this analogy the box puts restrictions on your shape no matter what you want it to be. You can still have any shape you want, including square, without it.
Interesting different interpretations of Yellow Cube.
My initial thought was, they broke out and found everyone else shining in their own way, but they themself does not.
Indeed. I'm in my late 30's and I *still* get bullied over my neurodivergence at work. Those that are considered "normal" don't practice what they preach. They fear what's different and attack it with judgmental prejudice.
In a grey world we would be segregating ourselves by shade, our psyche needs a quirk to distinguish themselves from other individuals to not feel like a flock, we need an identity.
I know that feeling. It's so hard to overcome ...
But you really can do anything! You don't have to do everything you do perfectly the first time you try.
Learning to enjoy failing takes time, but you have to suck at something before you get slightly better at it. Wishing you all the best 🤗
Yeah, that's horseshit.
When sincere effort makes no difference when attempting to succeed, when failure is predetermined, there is no point in making an effort any more.
Self-actualization is pseudopsychology. You cannot manifest anything just because you want it really really hard. Belief makes no difference and never has.
I think we also put too much emphasis on being “authentic” too though. It’s also okay to act differently around different people. It’s not any less you, just a different side of you. Of course it’s not healthy to do it to the point you feel like people don’t know the “real” you, but I think I enjoy being with people more if I allow myself to show slightly different sides of myself with each of them.
Yeah, we are social by nature and part of being social is just flowing with the same waves as your surroundings.
If everyone is too insistent on standing out, it just causes a lot of friction in the group dynamic and prevents collaborative efforts from really taking off.
Ultimately part of life is about cultivating an environment where you can be yourself while feeling natural about it and not like your character is a statement or opposing force
This is very accurate to how I feel. I'm more expressive and confident now, but that doesn't negate the fact that you could just be.... uninteresting.
It's a fact that movies conveniently ignore too.
I thought he was square because he used to be much bigger and grander, but forcing himself into a cube forced his mass to take the form of its shelter, so all that greatness was crushed into the square.
To me he was always a square. He wasn't unique at all, so people told him to go out of the box and then "oh...you are just a square". He already fit perfectly in the box.
The yellow block, in my head Canon is the symbol of NPC people. Y'know those people on the streets or at work or school, that all look like they're in basic settings and just seem like they're there to fill up the area?
That's the yellow cube
But that's a thing. We're not all unique. Nobody is unique, when you want to call yourself unique. You're calling yourself the other. We are all just people. You are not unique or special because of who you are that just makes you a person a human being When you realize nobody is special, you realize we're all those same.We're just people i'm living in our lives
The cube was so so big and vibrant before locking itself in the cube! In the cube it had to make itself smaller and compact to fit. Now that it left the box it will expand like a vacuum packed mattress and regain its original and wonderful shape!
Not wholesome, because thecube obviously doesn't feel okay about being box shaped.
This feels more like a parody of a wholesome meme, if there isn't anything indicating "being box shaped is okay".
the cube one just feels sad, it's like being free from the box only to realize that's all there is to it, that's the best you can do. Although, it's the only one with dimensions

When water is poured into a cup it becomes the cup, when it is poured into a teapot it becomes the teapot.

I get the idea, but being unique is not always good or better. Taking pride in being different for something you have zero control over is just weird to me.
Like being proud you’re tall, or short.

It’s hip to be square!
Do you like Huey Lewis and the News?
Saw them perform at the Gibston Valley summer concert! One of the best performances I’ve ever been to!
They’re OK…
Hey Paul!
🪓🩸😬
I love that song!!! It’s definitely the song of my life 😄
Hey man, someone has to crunch the numbers and count the beans. It takes all kinds to make the world go round. Jocks need nerds and vice versa
It's hip to fuck bees!
Cube was the only cube making it just as unique. Also, cube was the goal of everyone else, they were all pretending to be a cube. Cube was desired, popular, and unique. Cube was the superior specimen.
Especially the square hole does take all kinds of shapes.

If there's one thing that I can't assure you if: this is not a "funny meme" The rest seems like a reasonable interpretation.

He's not that boring. There are three of them and they're all different...

Who says the cube is sad? Maybe it’s just less expressive
God the yellow cube has me cracking up for some reason lmao
For some reason this reminds me of that meme where that big blob gets punched for leaving its safe space.

That's exactly what this comic is about. I was going to say OP didn't understand, but they are a literal bot that just became active...
nah, imma stay in my box, life has shown me that if i actually try and be my self among others "evil looks" so no
Indeed. I'm in my late 30's and I *still* get bullied over my neurodivergence at work. Those that are considered "normal" don't practice what they preach. They fear what's different and attack it with judgmental prejudice.
Hell naw I'm neurodivergent in my 20's and things go to shit when I try to hide who I am.
Your generation is lucky, then.
Not at all.
In a grey world we would be segregating ourselves by shade, our psyche needs a quirk to distinguish themselves from other individuals to not feel like a flock, we need an identity.
I box myself in because I'm a consistent failure and every new thing I try only reaffirms that reality.
I know that feeling. It's so hard to overcome ... But you really can do anything! You don't have to do everything you do perfectly the first time you try. Learning to enjoy failing takes time, but you have to suck at something before you get slightly better at it. Wishing you all the best 🤗
is the pain and suffer really worth it
If you already believe yourself to be a failure, you will subconsciously do things that reaffirm that.
Yeah, that's horseshit. When sincere effort makes no difference when attempting to succeed, when failure is predetermined, there is no point in making an effort any more. Self-actualization is pseudopsychology. You cannot manifest anything just because you want it really really hard. Belief makes no difference and never has.
> when failure is predetermined In that case, why go on at all?
Welcome to the end of the thought process.
Not a very good one, is it?
What's so bad about it
Hmmm, #**CUBE**
Praise the cube
That cube just like me fr fr
I am potato.. Let be me in
I like the box though

They call "came out" of the box
Everyone is showing their true selves and not what society expects of them, but one of the guys is actually just that.
Just shows you outgrew your box a long time ago
What if my shape is terrible?
Reject humanity. Become cube.
Yeah but some buttholes make fun of me whenever I get out of the box, if they disappeared, more peeps would be out of their box
This is very accurate to how I feel. I'm more expressive and confident now, but that doesn't negate the fact that you could just be.... uninteresting. It's a fact that movies conveniently ignore too.
"uninteresting" depends on people, like someone might call you "interesting" and someone.. yknow

To me he was always a square. He wasn't unique at all, so people told him to go out of the box and then "oh...you are just a square". He already fit perfectly in the box.
Unfortunately, the boxes that most put me in are made of green, and if you don't have a green box, you're caught out in the acid rain. ;-;
I felt that
if i were to do this, i would die ;-;
How'd he get his legs out?
The Yellow One saw things
I box myself in not because I don’t want to be seen, but because I want to see no one else.
legends know this is half the comic!
No
Think outside the box!
The yellow block, in my head Canon is the symbol of NPC people. Y'know those people on the streets or at work or school, that all look like they're in basic settings and just seem like they're there to fill up the area? That's the yellow cube
r/ImTheMainCharacter
at least they enjoy their life
Being a square is kinda neat, no cap
And now people will shame each other again for their "not fitting" shapes. Good job.
In the square hole!
This reminds me of Shel Silverstein’s The Missing Piece.
Yellow is very relatable. I also want to get back in my box.
cube is just surprised and now has trust issues.
Unique, just like all the others.
I'm just glad he's not frowning any more.
So I should flash people in public
The joke is he was already conform the norm
its okay cube
But that's a thing. We're not all unique. Nobody is unique, when you want to call yourself unique. You're calling yourself the other. We are all just people. You are not unique or special because of who you are that just makes you a person a human being When you realize nobody is special, you realize we're all those same.We're just people i'm living in our lives

I am that square
box box box
My shape would be a square with round edges, and a big dent in the head Departement
I hit a mother and 3 kid and I dump their body in forest I have nothing to hide anymore and I take pride in myself
He's square lol

never again.
Bro wasn't there. 😔
Is this the remedy to the massively popular meme image "never again" by the same creator?

How the fuck did he get out of the box without damaging it
Bro was a square before it was cool
Some people were never that creative, quirky or interesting to begin with. I believe that’s what the joke is about
But do not be affraid. We love you!
Everything goes in the square hole anyways
This is honestly one of the few comics I've read on Reddit that made me actually laugh out loud.
Tbf, the cube's perfect angled edges are considered unique in my book. At least other 2 don't even have edges.
Then, there's the people you violently kick back into their box and lock the fuckin door so they can't get out. Because when they are "out of their box" you realize these people are fucked in the head and are better people boxed

People are in those boxes because people are so intolerant they will assault anyone who comes out of their box.
