Released in 2000, 'Scary Movie' became a cultural phenomenon for its relentless parody of 90s slasher films. In this specific scene, Cindy Campbell (played by Anna Faris) and her group of friends, including Ray (Shawn Wayans) and Brenda (Regina Hall), are in a panic after hitting a pedestrian with their car. Despite a body clearly being visible on the windshield, Cindy hysterically screams the line 'OMG we hit a boot!' while pointing at a stray shoe on the road. This absurd level of denial mocks the 'I Know What You Did Last Summer' trope where characters try to rationalize away their guilt. In internet culture, this clip is the ultimate symbol for extreme denial or gaslighting oneself into believing a situation is less dire than it is. It is commonly used in scenarios where someone is focusing on a trivial detail to avoid facing a massive problem or a looming consequence. Example captions include: 'Me looking at the $2 shipping fee instead of my $400 total,' 'Me telling my mom the 45% on my test was actually a weirdly shaped 95,' and 'Me focusing on the free breadsticks while the restaurant burns down.'
