The Calling the Police meme, often featuring a man looking concerned or shocked while holding a phone to his ear, gained popularity as a reaction image used to 'report' absurd or mildly transgressive behavior online. While several variations exist, the most famous versions typically involve a man staring at a computer screen or TV in disbelief before making the call. It became a staple on Twitter and Reddit as a way to jokingly call out 'sus' posts, questionable food takes, or embarrassing social media moments. It serves as the ultimate digital snitching tool for the internet age.
