The 'Tommy Lee Jones With A Newspaper' meme originates from the 1993 film The Fugitive, where Jones plays the relentless U.S. Marshal Samuel Gerard. The image features Gerard sitting at a table, looking up from his newspaper with a look of extreme skepticism and unimpressed exhaustion. It gained traction online as the ultimate reaction image for expressing boredom, disbelief, or a total lack of concern regarding someone else's drama or opinions. Often used to mock 'breaking news' that isn't actually important, the template highlights Jones’s legendary ability to convey a 'deadpan' attitude that resonates with anyone tired of modern internet antics.
