The clip comes from the US version of The Office, where Michael Scott, played by Steve Carell, reacts to Toby Flenderson returning to the Dunder Mifflin office after leaving for Costa Rica. His overblown hatred of Toby made the outburst an instant fan favourite. The scene circulated first as a GIF, then as a standalone scream meme on video edits and soundboards. Its clear build from disbelief to full panic keeps it useful for any situation that feels like the worst possible outcome arriving.
