The 'We Can't Stop Here, This is Bat Country' meme originates from the 1998 cult classic film Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, starring Johnny Depp as Raoul Duke. In the scene, Duke is driving through the Nevada desert under the influence of hallucinogenics when he panics and shouts the line to his companion. Since the early days of the internet, this phrase and the accompanying image of a frantic Duke have been used to describe feeling overwhelmed, being in a dangerous or bizarre environment, or simply wanting to escape a weird situation. It serves as the ultimate reaction image for chaotic energy or when a person realizes they are in way over their head.
