This iconic clip originates from the hit NBC sitcom 'Friends,' specifically from the Season 8 episode 'The One with the Tea Leaves' which aired in 2002. In this scene, the eccentric Phoebe Buffay, played by Lisa Kudrow, is interrogating a man named Jim, portrayed by actor James LeGros, whom she believes she met through a series of psychic coincidences. Suspicious of his background after seeing a photograph of him, Phoebe abruptly and bluntly asks, 'Wait, were you on a gay cruise?' with her signature deadpan intensity. The clip has survived decades to become a staple in modern meme culture, primarily used as a reaction video to express extreme skepticism or to 'call out' someone when their story doesn't quite add up. It represents those moments of realization where a single detail flips the entire narrative of a situation. Common uses include reacting to suspicious social media posts, questioning a friend's unlikely excuse, or pointing out a 'red flag' in a funny way. Example captions include: 'Me when my friend says they were asleep but I saw them active on Instagram,' or 'When he says he doesn't have a type but all his exes look like you.'
