Released in 2011 as an SNL Digital Short, 'Jack Sparrow' features The Lonely Island group (Andy Samberg, Akiva Schaffer, and Jorma Taccone) and legendary singer Michael Bolton. In this scene, Bolton completely derails a club track to belt out his obsession with the Pirates of the Caribbean film series while dressed as Captain Jack Sparrow (originally played by Johnny Depp). He passionately sings about being the 'jester of Tortuga' and a 'major cinephile,' much to the confusion of the rest of the group. This specific clip captures Bolton's grand entrance and his unbridled, high-energy enthusiasm for the character. As a meme, this clip is the definitive template for representing hyper-fixation or being socially out of step with a group. It is commonly used to show someone bringing up a niche interest, a weird hobby, or an obscure movie fact in a setting where it doesn't belong. It perfectly encapsulates that feeling of being unapologetically 'extra' about something you love, even if no one else gets it. Example captions include: 'When the homies are talking about dating but I want to talk about Bionicle lore,' 'Me at the function after two drinks explaining why Shrek 2 is a masterpiece,' and 'When you're the only person in the group chat who actually read the manga.'
