Dory is the forgetful blue tang from Pixar's Finding Nemo and its sequel Finding Dory, a character whose expressive voice and anxious reactions made her a natural source for reaction clips. Short excerpts of her panicked moments circulate widely in memes, gaming videos and short-form edits, where a single scream can stand in for fear without needing any context. The clip stays popular because it is instantly readable: even viewers who do not remember the exact scene recognise the cartoon panic and understand the joke immediately.
