The 'Sorry, That Was a Strange Thing to Ask' meme originates from the popular anime series Attack on Titan, specifically featuring Commander Erwin Smith. During a tense moment in Season 1, Erwin asks protagonist Eren Yeager a cryptic and unsettling question before abruptly dismissing it with the now-famous line. The meme took off on platforms like Reddit and Tumblr, evolving into a two-panel format where the first panel features a bizarre, philosophical, or overly personal question, and the second panel serves as the punchline. It is widely used to highlight those awkward moments when a conversation takes a turn into the weird or when someone realizes they've shared 'too much information' during a casual chat.
