The 'Gotta Get A Grip' meme originates from the 2015 top-down shooter game Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number. It features the character The Son, leader of the Russian Mafia, during a drug-induced hallucination in the final level 'Apocalypse.' As experimental pills take effect, his face becomes wildly distorted and he screams the line in a moment of sheer psychological distress. Since its release, the image has become a staple in gaming communities to represent intense stress, losing one's mind, or the feeling of being completely overwhelmed. The vibrant, neon aesthetic of the game adds a unique visual flair that makes this template instantly recognizable for expressing any moment where your mental grip is slipping away.
