The 'Annoyed Picard' meme features Captain Jean-Luc Picard, played by Patrick Stewart, from the 'Star Trek: The Next Generation' episode 'Ménage à Troi.' Contrary to its popular usage expressing intense annoyance or disbelief, the still actually depicts Picard reciting Shakespearean sonnets to rescue Counselor Troi. It first gained traction on 4chan and Reddit around 2012, often accompanied by the 'Why The Fuck' caption. The meme is the go-to template for calling out illogical behavior, baffling decisions, or moments where words fail to describe one's frustration with a situation.
