The iconic 'You have got to be shitting me' reaction comes from the 2001 war thriller Behind Enemy Lines. The scene features Owen Wilson as Lieutenant Chris Burnett, a naval flight officer who has been shot down over Bosnia. In this high-tension moment, Burnett is communicating via radio with his commanding officer, Rear Admiral Leslie Reigart, played by Gene Hackman, only to realize his rescue mission has been complicated or delayed. Burnett's look of weary exhaustion mixed with pure disbelief perfectly captures the feeling of a situation going from bad to worse. This clip has transitioned into a legendary reaction meme used to represent moments of extreme frustration or the absurdity of modern life's inconveniences. It is the go-to template for expressing that specific type of 'I can't believe this is happening' energy. Commonly used captions for this meme include: 'When you finish a 10-hour shift and your boss asks if you can stay late,' 'Checking the weather app and seeing rain on the one day you have outdoor plans,' and 'Seeing the total at the grocery store for three items.'
