The 'Bagel Boss' meme originated from a July 2019 viral video featuring Chris Morgan, a man who launched into a heated, profanity-laced tirade against customers and staff at a Bay Shore bagel shop. His outburst focused on his frustrations with online dating and perceived height discrimination, shouting 'You're not God or my father or my boss!' before being tackled by another patron. The video quickly became a symbol of public meltdowns, with internet users repurposing his intense facial expressions and specific quotes to mock various forms of irrational anger or over-the-top confrontational behavior in everyday situations.
