Originally used by Hannah Gadsby in her netflix stand up comedy special, “Douglas”. The joke first started with Hannah saying how different things would be called if women were allowed to name them. She also says, “Men, how would you like it if we called your balls Karen’s handful? Not very much.” And “If a man starts getting moody it’s because karen’s giving them a squeeze”

A self-aware Karen (or unfortunate person with a Karen-vibe) attempting to reform from problematic Karen behavior so they act like the antithesis of a Karen by overcompensating and displaying over-the-top friendly behavior to people in the service industry in order to seem more relatable. They often coming off as inauthentic but their intentions aren’t necessarily bad.
This entitled-looking middle-aged white woman with an inverted bob haircut is obviously trying extremely hard to be relatable and liked by the manicurist. It’s hard to watch this Overcompensating Karen.
