The 'Simpsons Bart Gun' meme originates from the iconic animated sitcom 'The Simpsons', specifically from the 1992 episode 'Itchy & Scratchy: The Movie'. In this scene, Bart Simpson, voiced by Nancy Cartwright, is seen holding a toy gun with a look of intense determination while watching television. The scene captures Bart's transition from casual viewer to someone ready for 'combat,' even if only in a child's imaginative world. In internet culture, this clip is the gold standard for representing extreme escalation and the sudden loss of patience. It is commonly used to depict how someone reacts to minor but persistent annoyances, such as slow internet speeds, unskippable ads, or siblings being bothersome. The humor stems from the contrast between Bart's small stature and the serious, armed posture he adopts. Example caption ideas include: 'Me when the Wi-Fi drops to one bar during a rank match,' 'When the same fly enters my room for the 5th time today,' and 'Me watching the microwave countdown the last 3 seconds.'
