Spider-Man Noir debuted in the animated film Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse in 2018, voiced by Nicolas Cage as a 1930s hard-boiled detective from a black-and-white universe. His fascination with a Rubik's Cube became one of the film's running jokes, because the colored puzzle means nothing in his monochrome world. Clips of the moment later spread online as a reaction meme for confusion, with fans quoting his serious delivery whenever something simple looks completely incomprehensible.

Spider-Man Noir puzzling over a Rubik's Cube from Into the Spider-Verse, a deadpan movie clip used for confusion and color-blind comedy moments.
This short clip features Spider-Man Noir reacting to a Rubik's Cube he cannot make sense of, since his own world is entirely black and white. His flat, serious detective delivery makes the confusion funnier, because he treats a simple colorful puzzle like a hard-boiled mystery. The audio builds on that contrast between his grim tone and the harmless object in his hands. It works as a reaction sound for moments of genuine bafflement, where someone is staring at something obvious to everyone else but completely alien to them.
