This clip originates from the classic 1987 road-trip comedy 'Planes, Trains and Automobiles,' starring Steve Martin as the high-strung Neal Page and John Candy as the boisterous Del Griffith. In this particular moment, Neal is staring in utter disbelief and quiet rage at one of Del's many social faux pas or annoying habits. Del, oblivious yet defensive, drops the iconic line: 'Why don't you take a picture? It'll last longer!' The scene perfectly encapsulates the friction between the two polar opposite characters. In internet culture, this clip is the gold standard for responding to judgmental stares or calling out someone who is watching you do something embarrassing. It is used to represent feelings of defiance, awkwardness, and the humor found in being 'caught in the act.' Whether it's being judged for a weird snack combo or caught singing in the car, this meme provides the perfect sarcastic retort. Example captions include: 'When you catch someone staring at your third plate at the buffet' and 'Me when my cat watches me struggle to build IKEA furniture.'
