The Happy / Shock meme features two contrasting selfies of actor Dean Norris, best known for playing Hank Schrader in Breaking Bad. Originally posted by Norris on Twitter in 2014, the images show him grinning broadly in one frame and staring intensely in the other. The format went viral in 2021 as a way to illustrate the difference between two situations or a sudden, dramatic shift in mood. It has since become a go-to template for expressing situational irony and the feeling of realization when a good situation turns sour.
