The 'I Think Coolsville Sucks' meme originates from the 2004 live-action film Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed. In the scene, Fred Jones (played by Freddie Prinze Jr.) is giving a press conference when he is manipulated into saying the titular phrase, much to the horror of the town's citizens. In internet culture, the template is used to represent someone making a social blunder, expressing a wildly unpopular opinion, or intentionally being a 'hater' in a humorous context. It gained a second life on social media platforms like Twitter and TikTok as a reaction image for any situation involving a controversial stance or a public relations disaster.
