When you think you are almost at the end of the game, but you just completed 30% of it

Overview

A four-panel meme featuring an animated man with glasses and a suit sitting in a car seat, displaying a shocked expression with wide eyes and a slightly open mouth. Each panel contains the same text: 'When you think you are almost at the end of the game, but you just completed 30% of it.' The background shows the interior of a car with windows revealing a blurred outdoor scene. The character's expression remains consistently shocked across all panels, emphasizing the surprise of discovering low game completion progress.

Origin notes

The meme originates from Reddit (as indicated by the source 'Reddit:Meme') with the original title 'That was surprise'. It appears to be a remix of an animated (anime) screenshot, edited to include repeated text overlays. The watermark 'imgflip.com' is present in the bottom left corner of each panel, suggesting the image was created or edited using the Imgflip meme generator platform. The character is likely from an existing anime series, though the specific source work is not identified in the image.

This animated meme features a bald, bespectacled older man in a business suit sitting in a car's passenger seat. He initially has a wide-eyed, stunned expression, and slowly turns his head to the side in growing shock as the realization sinks in: what he believed was the nearing end of a video game was actually just the conclusion of the tutorial section, meaning the vast majority of the game remains unplayed. The caption explaining the gaming scenario repeats to emphasize the relatable, overwhelming feeling of this discovery.

This is a relatable gaming meme consisting of a text header at the top followed by a popular reaction image of late NBA star Kobe Bryant. The top text reads 'Mom: one last game / Me playing story mode:'. The joke relies on the shared experience of video game players: story mode missions typically take much longer than quick multiplayer matches, so when given permission to play just one more game, someone playing story mode will have the resigned, unimpressed expression shown in the reaction image, as they know they will be playing for hours instead of just one short game, and cannot easily quit mid-story mission.

This meme is a relatable emotional meme that pairs an overlaid text caption with a screenshot from the 2004 film *Collateral*. The text at the top reads: 'how it feels being very skilled but not being able to utilise those skills to earn something for your family'. Below the text is an image of Jamie Foxx's character Max Durocher, looking deeply weary, stressed, and dejected while sitting behind the wheel of a taxi. The meme uses the character's drained, heavy expression to visually represent the intense frustration, guilt, and helplessness of having valuable skills that can't be leveraged to financially support one's family. It taps into the universal struggle of unfulfilled potential and the pressure of being a provider, making it highly relatable to anyone who has felt stuck in a situation where their abilities don't translate to financial stability for their loved ones.
