The 'He Wants to Order' meme, often associated with the phrase 'Excuse me, he asked for no pickles,' depicts a social dynamic between a highly assertive character and a shy, socially anxious one. It gained massive popularity across platforms like Twitter, TikTok, and Reddit as a relatable way to illustrate relationships—be they romantic, platonic, or familial—where one person acts as the 'protector' for the other's social needs. The template often utilizes fan art or redraws of popular anime and gaming characters, highlighting the humorous contrast between someone who is ready to confront restaurant staff and the person who is too afraid to even mention an incorrect food order.
