The 'Do You Think This Is a Game?' meme features an intensely staring cat peering through a wire fence, though the phrase itself originates from the 1992 crime drama film 'Juice,' famously delivered by Tupac Shakur’s character, Bishop. The meme gained viral status on platforms like Tumblr and Reddit in the early 2010s when the aggressive quote was paired with the image of a particularly grumpy-looking feline. It is primarily used to convey a sense of faux-seriousness, extreme frustration, or a situation where someone is not taking a matter as seriously as the poster believes they should. The hilarious contrast between the gritty, dramatic quote and the fluffy, angry subject matter has made it a staple for internet users wanting to signal they are 'dead serious' about something trivial.
