The image shows a close-up of the title character, played by Cillian Murphy, wearing a protective radiation helmet, looking somber, defeated, and resigned as he stares off to the side. White overlaid text at the top of the image reads: 'I watch as the guests finish off all the delicious food that I had planned to eat later:'.

Origin notes

This meme was originally shared on the Reddit r/Meme subreddit under the title 'That’s hits hard'. The visual base is a popular reaction meme template taken from the Trinity nuclear test sequence of the 2023 Christopher Nolan film Oppenheimer, where the character's solemn, defeated look is widely used to express quiet disappointment over minor frustrating events.

This meme pokes fun at flat Earth conspiracy theorists, visualizing their reaction when looking at new photos of a spherical Earth captured by NASA's Artemis program crew. It uses a dramatic close-up shot of an astronaut (Joseph Cooper from the film *Interstellar*) staring out a spacecraft window to represent this uncomfortable confrontation with evidence that contradicts their conspiracy belief.

This is a single-panel reaction meme. The top section has black text on a white background reading: 'POV: When random people talk about stuff you actually know but you can't join because you're a Stranger'. Below the text is a side profile shot of an older astronaut wearing a space helmet, looking out somberly and longingly through his visor, as if observing the conversation he is unable to join. The meme captures the relatable, often frustrating social experience of being an outsider who has knowledge of a topic being discussed by people you do not know, leaving you unable to interject even if you have relevant input, or if the speakers are sharing incorrect information.

This is a single-panel reaction meme. The top section has black text on a white background reading "Me watching a film and realising it has Jared Leto in it (They've locked the doors". Below the text is a dark screenshot of the character Homelander from *The Boys* sitting in a crowded movie theater, with a resigned, dismayed, trapped expression. The joke relies on the common internet sentiment that Jared Leto's performances, especially his role as the titular character in the 2022 poorly received film *Morbius*, are unpleasant to watch, so realizing he is in the film you are already viewing in a theater with locked doors you cannot exit through is a relatable, humorous unpleasant experience tied to the viral "Morbin' time" meme trend.

This is an image macro meme. The top text reads "He's running late. Now, make sure someone gets on the elevator at every floor and squishes him into the corner". Below the text is a still of the character Christof from *The Truman Show*, who is resting his chin on his hand, wearing a communications headset, and looking upward with a scheming, plotting expression. The joke leans into relatable petty, exaggerated annoyance at people running late, framing the petty desire to inconvenience them as an evil orchestrated plan, matching the character's canonical role as the all-controlling creator of Truman's fabricated world.

This meme features an extremely overcooked, heavily charred piece of food formed into a menacing humanoid monster shape. The overlaid text jokes that this is the persistent 'immortal crumb' that gets left behind in an air fryer, getting cooked again and again every time the appliance is used, never getting removed during cleaning. It plays on the common relatable experience of having a small forgotten food crumb that just gets more overcooked over time in an infrequently-cleaned air fryer.

This meme consists of two parts: top text describing a common absurd open-world video game trope, followed by an image of a bearded man looking upward with a stunned, helpless expression against a sky that is half lit by sunset/sunrise and half dark night sky. The text jokes about the perspective of non-player characters (NPCs) in video games, who are helpless to act when the player character chooses the option to instantly 'wait until night time', which illogically skips the entire passage of day and effectively breaks the in-game world's equivalent of Earth's rotation, forcing all NPCs to experience this sudden, unnatural time jump.

This is a two-panel joke meme using the popular adjacent car shocked stare template from the Netflix series *The Umbrella Academy*. The meme references the NASA Artemis II mission, which will pass behind the far side of the Moon resulting in a temporary communications blackout. The top panel shows Vanya Hargreeves with a shocked expression, captioned 'Artemis II crew researching the far side of the moon'. The bottom panel shows Five Hargreeves in an adjacent car staring back with an equally shocked expression, captioned 'Alien army trying to launch a surprise invasion on Earth'. The joke plays on the long-running popular conspiracy theory that alien life and technology are secretly hidden on the far side of the Moon, humorously suggesting the Artemis II mission has accidentally interrupted a planned alien invasion of Earth.

This meme consists of text on top of a popular reaction image. The top text reads "Me looking at my friend after watching the backrooms movie and the exit is just gone". The image below features the uncanny, deeply disappointed facial expression of the adult protagonist from the animated film *The Polar Express* staring at a partially visible friend. The joke plays on the popular internet creepypasta concept of the Backrooms, an endless liminal space with no exit, to mock the poor quality of the Backrooms movie adaptation: the viewer is frustrated with their friend for picking a bad movie that felt like an inescapable waste of time, matching the original title of the post stating they will no longer let this friend choose movies for group outings.
