The Farquaad Pointing meme features the primary antagonist of the 2001 DreamWorks film Shrek, Lord Farquaad. The image typically captures Farquaad in his royal attire, pointing and laughing mockingly at an off-screen subject. While Farquaad has been a meme staple for years—most notably in the surreal 'E' meme—this specific pointing format gained massive traction as a reaction image to ridicule others or highlight embarrassing situations. It is frequently used in social media threads to signify that someone has made a fool of themselves, perfectly capturing the character's signature pompous and condescending energy.
