Originating from the hit sitcom 'It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia' in the 2012 episode 'The Maureen Ponderosa Wedding Massacre,' this scene features the narcissistic Dennis Reynolds (played by Glenn Howerton) and his friend Mac (Rob McElhenney). During the scene, Dennis is attempting to coordinate a plan, but Mac's vacuous nodding makes it clear he is totally lost despite his verbal confirmation. Dennis stops mid-sentence to deliver the now-iconic line: 'I feel like you’re saying you get it, but you don’t get it.' This clip has become a staple in meme culture for highlighting situations where there is a massive disconnect between an explanation and the listener's actual level of understanding. It represents the specific emotion of frustrated realization when someone is pretending to follow a conversation just to avoid looking confused. It is frequently used for professional frustrations, explaining niche hobbies to outsiders, or dealing with oblivious friends. Popular example captions include: 'When the intern says they know how to use Excel' and 'Me explaining the lore of my favorite game to my mom.'
