David S. Pumpkins debuted on Saturday Night Live in 2016 during the "Haunted Elevator" sketch. Tom Hanks stars as the titular character, accompanied by b-boy skeletons played by Mikey Day and Bobby Moynihan. The scene follows a couple as they encounter Pumpkins on a ride, where he repeatedly shouts "I'm David Pumpkins!" and asks "Any questions?" without providing any actual answers to their confusion. He then breaks into a bizarre, rhythmic dance that leaves everyone in the scene completely bewildered. This clip is a staple meme for expressing pure absurdity, chaos, or when someone enters a situation they don't belong in. It represents the feeling of being "your own thing" regardless of how much you confuse others around you. Example caption ideas: "When you show up to a serious meeting with a joke ready," "Me trying to explain my niche logic to my therapist," and "That one friend who always misses the dress code."
