Released in the year 2000, the comedy classic 'Meet the Parents' features a legendary confrontation between the awkward Greg Focker, played by Ben Stiller, and his intimidating future father-in-law Jack Byrnes, portrayed by Robert De Niro. In this specific scene, a marijuana pipe is discovered, leading a panicked Greg to frantically exclaim, 'It's not mine, Dad!' despite Jack not actually being his father yet. The moment perfectly captures the sheer terror and social anxiety of being caught in a compromising situation while trying to make a good impression. This clip became a staple in meme culture as the ultimate visual representation of desperate denial and secondhand embarrassment. It is frequently used to depict scenarios where someone is caught with something incriminating, embarrassing, or simply misunderstood by an authority figure. Whether it's a parent finding a strange item in a bedroom or a boss questioning a weird browser tab, the wide-eyed panic of Ben Stiller resonates with anyone who has ever felt the need to deflect blame instantly. Example caption ideas include: 'Me when my mom finds the "homework" folder that is 50GB,' 'When the TSA agent pulls a literal sword out of your carry-on,' and 'My dog after I find a chewed-up shoe in his mouth.'
