The 'Shrek Five Minutes' meme originates from the 2004 DreamWorks animated film Shrek 2. During a carriage ride to the Kingdom of Far Far Away, Donkey repeatedly asks if they have arrived yet, eventually pushing Shrek to his limit. Shrek famously screams, 'Could you not be yourself for FIVE MINUTES?!' The meme became a viral sensation as a way to mock people or brands that can't stop a specific, often annoying, behavior. It is frequently used in a two-panel format showing Shrek's intense outburst, capturing the universal feeling of losing patience with a persistent situation.
