This is a two-panel reaction meme using a scene from the 1974 anime *Heidi, Girl of the Alps*. In the first panel, the character Heidi, wearing a pink dress, stands behind the character Clara who sits in a wheelchair. Heidi's speech bubble reads '*already ragebaited*', while Clara's speech bubble says condescendingly: 'you're so emotional lol, calm down-'. In the second panel, Heidi has pushed Clara off the edge of a rocky cliff, and Clara is seen falling down the cliffside while Heidi holds the now-empty wheelchair. The joke highlights how deliberately provoking someone to anger (ragebaiting them) then dismissing their anger by telling them to calm down is an extremely inflammatory action that leads to extreme, often disproportionate reactions.

This meme depicts a relatable sarcastic scenario. The top text sets up a conversation: when you tell your friend you are sad, they give the generic, unhelpful advice of 'omg don't be sad!'. The following image is an edited version of Edvard Munch's famous painting *The Scream*, where the famously distressed central figure is altered to be giving two enthusiastic thumbs up, with over-the-top fake excitement. The text below the painting reads 'My goodness what an idea! Why didn't I think of that before!', expressing heavy sarcasm at how useless the friend's advice is, mocking the fact that simply being told not to be sad does nothing to fix actual sadness.
