The 'Today I Am Never Going Back In The Water' meme originates from a 2015 broadcast of the Australian breakfast program, 'Today Show Australia'. In this viral clip, host Karl Stefanovic is shown footage of a massive 20-foot Great White Shark, often identified as the legendary 'Deep Blue'. After witnessing the scale of the predator, Stefanovic stares directly into the camera with a look of pure, deadpan existential dread and utters the iconic line. The moment became an instant classic due to Karl's genuine fear and comedic timing. In internet culture, this clip is the gold standard for 'Nope' energy, used when a person witnesses something so terrifying or off-putting that they immediately swear off an activity or place forever. It represents feelings of shock, immediate regret, and the humorous realization of one's own mortality. Common captions include: 'Me after seeing one spider in my bedroom' or 'When I see the price of a flight to Europe'.
