About

Sam Hyde Straining is a widely shared image of internet comedian and content creator Sam Hyde in which he can be seen appearing to strain to the point where his face has turned red, with his glasses seemingly causing indentations on his temples and veins popping out of his head. The photo was originally shared by Hyde in late August 2023 as a reference to Liver King but was reposted to X and 4chan by people commenting on his looks. The photo also saw minor use as a reaction in image caption memes.
