The 'Let Me Out' meme originates from the hit Adult Swim animated series 'Rick and Morty' in the 2015 episode 'Big Trouble in Little Sanchez.' In this scene, Rick Sanchez (voiced by Justin Roiland) has transferred his consciousness into a younger clone of himself, dubbed 'Tiny Rick,' to help his grandkids, Morty and Summer, catch a vampire at their school. During a school dance, Tiny Rick performs a catchy song that is actually a desperate plea for help, featuring the iconic lyrics: 'Let me out, what you see is not the same person as me!' while he frantically dances. This clip has become a staple of internet culture to represent the feeling of being trapped in a situation where you have to maintain a positive outward appearance while suffering internally. It is commonly used for social anxiety, workplace burnout, or being stuck in awkward social obligations. Example caption ideas include: 'Me at a wedding after five minutes of socializing,' 'My brain during a four-hour department meeting,' and 'When you're at a party and realize you should have stayed home.'
