Roundabout is a 1971 song by the British progressive rock band Yes, and a short section of its opening guitar riff became the ending theme for the anime JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. In the show, episodes often closed on a freeze-frame marked with a To Be Continued arrow, and viewers began copying that format for short online videos. The meme spread through YouTube and social media in the mid-2010s, turning an ordinary clip into a mock cliffhanger. It remains popular because the riff is instantly recognisable and the joke works without any explanation.

The Roundabout riff from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure that plays over a freeze-frame with a To Be Continued arrow, used to end videos on a dramatic cliffhanger.
The clip is the instantly recognisable guitar riff from Yes's Roundabout, cut to the few seconds used as the ending theme for JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. It opens with a bright, driving acoustic guitar pattern that feels upbeat and slightly triumphant, then stops abruptly as if the story has been paused mid-action. Paired with a freeze-frame and the familiar arrow graphic in memes, it tells viewers that something unexpected has just happened and the outcome is being left hanging. The effect is comic suspense: the audience laughs because a mundane moment is suddenly treated like a dramatic season finale.
