The Umbrella Academy drive-by meme features characters Vanya (Elliot Page) and Five (Aidan Gallagher) making surprised eye contact while driving past each other in separate cars. This scene originated from Season 2, Episode 7 of the Netflix series, titled 'The Seven Stages.' The meme format exploded on social media in mid-2020 as a way to depict two people or groups discovering a shared, often awkward or unexpected, truth. It perfectly captures the feeling of a double-take during a chaotic situation, making it a staple for relatability and situational humor online.
