The Afraid To Ask Andy meme features the character Andy Dwyer, played by Chris Pratt, from the hit sitcom Parks and Recreation. The image originates from the Season 6 episode 'The Wall,' where Andy admits to his colleagues that he doesn't know who Al Gore is, despite having worked in government circles for years. The meme typically uses the caption 'I don't know what [X] is, and at this point, I'm too afraid to ask.' It went viral on Reddit and Twitter as a way for users to admit they are out of the loop on popular culture or current events without actually having to ask for an explanation.
