The Crying Boo meme originates from the 2001 Pixar classic Monsters, Inc., specifically the scene where the character Boo begins to wail, much to the distress of Sulley and Mike Wazowski. In the world of internet culture, this image has become a universal symbol for high-drama sadness, minor inconveniences, or the feeling of being completely overwhelmed by adult responsibilities. It is often used to mock oneself for being 'dramatic' or to highlight relatable struggles like finishing a favorite show or seeing a bank account balance. Its lasting popularity stems from Boo's incredibly expressive and exaggerated facial features, which perfectly capture the essence of a 'meltdown'.
