The toddler has an intense, unimpressed, faintly hostile expression staring directly at the viewer.

Origin notes

This meme originated as a viral post on Reddit, with the original posted title being 'We don’t do that here'. The core image is an unedited candid photograph of a real toddler that was adapted into a meme by adding contextual top text, and it has since spread widely across social media platforms as a reaction image for unwanted intrusions.

The image is a still frame from the famous viral 'Chloe, we're going to Disneyland' meme. It features a young blonde girl named Chloe sitting in a car child safety seat, wearing a purple short-sleeved t-shirt. She has a visibly unimpressed, confused, and slightly annoyed scowling expression, which is the core of the meme. This reaction was captured when her parents told her they were taking her to Disneyland, and her unexpected underwhelmed response instead of the expected excitement turned the clip into one of the most enduring reaction memes online.

This is a relatable humor meme that subverts the common positive perception of newborn babies. The top section features text: "Everyone: Aww so cute!!! 🥺", representing the universal affectionate reaction people express towards newborns. Below it, the line "New born babies:" introduces a still of the surreal animated character Salad Fingers, who has a wrinkled, tired, grotesque face with half-lidded eyes and an open mouth. The joke relies on the stark contrast between the idealized, cute view of newborns and the hyperbolic, unflattering depiction of the character, which humorously references the often less glamorous, red/wrinkled appearance of real newborns in an exaggerated way.

This is a two-panel relatable meme. The text at the top of the image reads 'When you're out eating & the table behind you is being too loud'. The left panel shows a woman smiling while seated at a casual restaurant booth, with a small baby from the table behind peeking around the edge of the booth divider with a neutral, curious look.
