The 'My Dog Stepped On A Bee' meme originates from the televised defamation trial between Johnny Depp and Amber Heard in May 2022. During her testimony, Heard vividly described an incident where her dog stepped on a bee, accompanied by a distinct, pained facial expression. The internet quickly latched onto the clip's specific cadence and dramatic delivery, turning it into a rhyming challenge on platforms like TikTok and Twitter. Users pair the original quote with absurd rhyming phrases like 'I have to pee' or 'I lost my key,' often featuring the same pained face in various comedic contexts to highlight the perceived theatricality of the moment.
