This meme features Captain Raymond Holt from the sitcom 'Brooklyn Nine-Nine' during a scene where his attempt to host a precinct party results in a room full of miserable people. Known for his stoic and robotic personality, Holt's delivery of the line 'Why is no one having a good time? I specifically requested it' perfectly highlights his literal approach to social interaction. Since its airing, the image has become a go-to template for internet users to mock situations where authority figures try to mandate enjoyment or when a meticulously planned event fails to meet expectations. It is widely used for office humor, gaming frustrations, and relatable social failures.
