Confused Gandalf, also known as 'I Have No Memory of This Place,' originates from a scene in the 2001 film The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring. In the scene, Gandalf and the Fellowship find themselves lost in the dark Mines of Moria, where the wizard admits his lack of direction. On the internet, the image became a popular reaction face to describe the feeling of returning to a thread, group chat, or workplace after a long absence only to find total chaos or unfamiliar changes. It perfectly encapsulates that specific brand of existential disorientation when everyone else seems to know what's happening except you.
