The 'I'm in Danger' meme originates from the 2014 Family Guy and The Simpsons crossover episode titled 'The Simpsons Guy.' It features the character Ralph Wiggum sitting calmly on a school bus as he realizes he is in a threatening situation. The image became a viral sensation in 2018, evolving into a universal reaction for moments of sudden, often self-inflicted, peril. It is widely used across social media to humorously acknowledge unfavorable circumstances, looming deadlines, or inevitable failure.
