The 'Bart, I Don't Want To Alarm You' meme originates from a classic 1992 episode of The Simpsons titled 'Lisa's First Word.' In the scene, a sleep-deprived and paranoid Homer Simpson bursts into Bart’s room to warn him about a potential 'boogeyman or boogeymen' in the house, causing Bart to scream in terror. The meme became a viral sensation as a template for delivering sudden, overwhelming, or hilariously exaggerated news. It typically features Homer’s panicked face in the first frame and Bart’s wide-mouthed scream in the second, making it the perfect vehicle for social commentary, gaming frustrations, or relatable life shocks.
