That Face When Homie Tries to Use The Pass In Public

This meme uses a photograph of two celebrities, Michael B. Jordan (left) and Delroy Lindo (right), from a formal public event (likely an awards show, given their formal suits). Jordan has an amused, slightly awkward half-smile, while Lindo wears a stern, unimpressed, disapproving expression. The top text overlay reads **THAT FACE YOU MAKE WHEN HOMIE**, and the bottom text reads **TRIES TO USE THE PASS IN PUBLIC**. The joke centers on the relatable feeling of secondhand embarrassment when a friend attempts to use a hypothetical 'friend pass' (a playful, informal agreement to get out of a situation) in a public, formal setting where it's completely inappropriate. The contrasting expressions highlight the split reaction: finding the friend's audacity funny, while also feeling horrified by the public awkwardness.
