This iconic clip originates from the Comedy Central series 'Reno 911!', specifically from the season 1 episode 'Execution' which aired in 2003. It features Lieutenant Jim Dangle, played by actor Thomas Lennon, showing off his brand new white ostrich skin boots outside of a Zapateria La Bailarina. In the scene, Dangle performs a series of flamboyant high-stepping dance moves and heel-clicks while proudly declaring he is 'just new boot goofin'. The hilarity is peaked by the tragic reveal that his police bike has been stolen while he was distracted by his own fashion sense. As a meme, this clip represents the feeling of immense confidence that comes with a new purchase or a fresh look, regardless of how ridiculous it may appear. It is commonly used to represent 'main character energy' or the excitement of small wins and paydays. Example caption ideas include: 'Me walking out of the mall with one small bag,' 'When the direct deposit hits at midnight,' or 'Testing out the new gym shoes in the mirror.'
