Who is Brock Obama?

Brock Obama is a fictional character that combines a Pokemon character named Brock and President Barack Obama. This character is circulated on social media as a meme.

The term "meme" was first used by the evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins in his 1976 book "The Selfish Gene." He created the term to describe the transmission of a cultural concept. While the term was created before the Internet age, "meme" as Dawkins defined it is well-suited to its use today. Dawkins originally defined memes as similar to viruses, and the images, catchphrases and videos transmitted via the Internet today are often considered viral.
