The 'Back To School' clip originates from the 1995 comedy classic Billy Madison. In this iconic scene, the titular character Billy Madison, played by Adam Sandler, is preparing for his first day of elementary school as a grown man to inherit his father's company. He sings a self-composed, rhythmic jingle—'Back to school, back to school, to prove to dad that I'm not a fool'—while packing his lunch and checking his gear. The scene perfectly captures a hilarious mixture of childlike innocence and the sheer absurdity of a grown man returning to the first grade. In internet culture, this clip is the ultimate anthem for anyone re-entering a routine they have been avoiding or simply starting a new chapter. It is most commonly used to represent the feeling of returning to work after a long holiday, starting a new semester, or finally tackling a long-overdue goal. The humor stems from the character's forced optimism and the relatable dread of a fresh start. Example captions include: 'Me returning to the office after a 3-day weekend', 'Starting a new job where I lied on my resume', and 'Going back to the gym after a 6-month hiatus'.
