The Coraline’s Dad meme features the character Charlie Jones from the 2009 stop-motion film Coraline and has become a staple for depicting extreme burnout and the monotony of remote work. The image shows Charlie hunched over his computer with heavy bags under his eyes, looking physically and mentally drained as he types away. It gained massive popularity as a parody of the 'Are Ya Winning, Son?' meme, often used with Coraline entering the room to find her father in a state of existential dread. Users typically employ this template to joke about software engineering, long gaming sessions, or the crushing reality of endless corporate deadlines.
