The Captain Picard Facepalm meme features Captain Jean-Luc Picard from 'Star Trek: The Next Generation' covering his face in a gesture of extreme frustration. While Picard performed several facepalms throughout the series, the most famous image is taken from the 1990 episode 'Deja Q.' It became an internet sensation in the late 2000s on platforms like 4chan and Reddit, used globally to react to displays of stupidity or disappointing news. Today, it stands as the ultimate visual shorthand for 'I can't believe this is happening.'
