When the Function Got X

When the Function Got X refers to a snowclone variation of the phrase " When the Function Got Hennessy " which replaced the word "Hennessy" with other items, activities or concepts that would be at an imagined "function" (a slang term for a party). The phrasal template trended alongside other, similar memes like The Function Will Have and White People at the Function . In mid-2023, the phrasal template became predominantly associated with an exploitable , recaptioned Whisper template showing an emoji rubbing its hands together in an evil or maniacal way (known as the "Scheming Emoticon") originally surfacing on Instagram.
