Released in 1988, the cult horror-comedy Vampire's Kiss features Nicolas Cage in one of his most legendary 'unhinged' performances as Peter Loew. In this specific scene, Loew has a total psychological meltdown and begins aggressively shouting the alphabet at his terrified assistant, Alva (played by Maria Conchita Alonso). The clip captures Cage's unique brand of 'Mega-Acting,' characterized by erratic physical movements and explosive vocal delivery. This scene became a cornerstone of the 'Nic Cage Losing His Sh*t' subgenre of internet memes, symbolizing peak frustration or condescending anger. It is commonly used to represent situations where someone is forced to explain something extremely basic to a person they find incompetent. Example captions include: 'Me explaining the very simple instructions for the 5th time' or 'When you finally lose it during a Monday morning meeting.'
