This is a relatable reaction meme combining a screenshot of the animated ogre Shrek from the DreamWorks *Shrek* film franchise with a top text caption. The caption reads 'When you are talking bad about someone and they suddenly appear out of nowhere', which pairs perfectly with Shrek's wide-eyed, side-eyed, guilty expression. The meme humorously captures the universal, awkward, and cringey experience of being caught gossiping or speaking negatively about someone immediately as they arrive.

This meme consists of top text placed above a reaction screenshot from the Pixar animated film *Turning Red*. The top text sets up the scenario: 'When you show bro a picture of your girlfriend and he says "as long as you're happy bro"'. The image below shows the character Jin Lee (Mei's father) with a wide-eyed, deeply unsettled, awkward and unimpressed facial expression as he looks at the person speaking to him. The joke relies on the common unspoken implication of the phrase 'as long as you're happy' in this context: the friend actually thinks the girlfriend is unattractive, and is offering fake polite support instead of giving his real negative opinion, which the person showing the photo immediately picks up on, leading to the disturbed reaction.

Above the turtle, there is a text caption that reads: 'When my sibling tells me something about their life and I have to act surprised because my mom had already told me.'
