Sudden Clarity Clarence is the popular meme of a young guy staring off in the midst of a concert, as if he's experiencing an epiphany. Like most memes, this one also began on Reddit in 2011, and by 2012, Sudden Clarity Clarence was all over Tumblr, accompanied by trivial or hilarious captions. The stock photo has been traced back to a music festival in Australia, but there is still speculation as to who the guy actually is. It'd also be great to know what the guy at the concert was really experiencing, but this is probably much better as a joke. For all of those awkwardly hilarious moments when you have a flash realization, here are The 50 Funniest Sudden Clarity Clarence Memes.
