The 'Why Isn't It Possible? Why Not?' meme originates from a tense scene in the 2000 cult classic film American Psycho, featuring Christian Bale as the narcissistic Patrick Bateman. In this scene, Bateman is desperately attempting to secure a dinner reservation at the ultra-exclusive restaurant Dorsia, only to be told it is simply impossible. His frantic, wide-eyed delivery of the line 'Why isn't it possible?' followed by 'Why not, you stupid bastard?' perfectly captures a mixture of entitlement, obsession, and existential dread. In internet culture, the template is frequently used to react to nonsensical rules, software limitations, or any situation where a user is denied something they feel should be easily obtainable. It has become a staple of 'Sigma Male' and 'Literally Me' meme communities, representing the peak of relatable frustration when facing illogical barriers.
