The Nick Cage and Pedro Pascal meme originates from the 2022 film 'The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent.' The scene features Pedro Pascal’s character, Javi, driving a convertible while looking at Nicolas Cage with a manic, joyful expression, while Cage responds with a look of pure bewilderment. The format went viral on TikTok and social media in 2023, typically paired with the song 'Make Your Own Kind of Music.' It is widely used to illustrate the hilarious juxtaposition between two people having polar opposite reactions to the same chaotic situation.
