The 'How'd It Get Burned?' meme originates from a high-tension scene in the 2006 remake of the cult classic film, The Wicker Man. Starring Nicolas Cage as Edward Malus, the moment features Cage screaming the titular line repeatedly with escalating intensity after discovering a burnt doll. While intended to be a dramatic plot point, Cage's over-the-top performance turned the scene into an internet sensation, emblematic of the 'Cage Rage' subculture. Today, the meme is used to mock situations that have gone horribly wrong, or to express exaggerated confusion when something—be it a meal, a career, or a relationship—ends up 'scorched' beyond recognition.
