This viral clip originated from a KDFW FOX 4 News (Dallas-Fort Worth) segment in 2011, though often mislabeled as Dallas 5 News. The video features reporter Justin Felder, who was filming a segment involving a small chameleon or lizard. Unexpectedly, the reptile leaps from a handler's arm onto the reporter's chest, causing Felder to let out a high-pitched scream and bolt away from the camera in a state of pure panic. The sudden shift from professional reporting to chaotic flight became an instant internet classic. The 'Dallas News Lizard' meme is widely used to represent over-the-top reactions to minor threats or sudden, unexpected inconveniences. It perfectly captures the 'fight or flight' response, usually emphasizing the hilarious 'flight' aspect when something harmless touches you. Example caption ideas include: 'Me when I feel a piece of hair on my arm and think it is a spider,' 'When life throws a minor responsibility at me,' and 'My anxiety when everything is going perfectly fine.'
