The original two-Spiderman version circulated since 2011, but the three-way variant exploded around 2021, adding a third layer to the \"these are the same thing\" joke. The triple format is perfect when two duplicates aren't enough to capture how many things are secretly identical. For comparing just two things, see Drake Hotline Bling (preference) or Epic Handshake (agreement).
