Paired with the \"vine boom\" sound effect, the eyebrow raise became the universal signal for suspicion, disbelief, and the moment something goes from normal to questionable. The format works because the eyebrow does all the talking. No words needed, though adding them makes it funnier. It is one of the rare memes that is equally powerful as a still image and as a sound-paired reaction on video. For expressing suspicion through a different lens, see Futurama Fry (squinting in confusion). For a more confrontational challenge, see John Cena Are You Sure About That.","format":"classic","howToMake":["The Rock's eyebrow is already raised and ready.

The rest of his face is almost neutral, which makes the single eyebrow even more dramatic. It is the look of a man who just heard something that doesn't quite add up, and rather than call it out verbally, he is letting his forehead do the interrogation. On TikTok, this image is inseparable from the vine boom sound effect that plays at the exact moment something becomes suspicious.","definition":"Dwayne \"The Rock\" Johnson's signature single eyebrow raise, a WWE trademark turned viral TikTok reaction.
