“me: what we eating for dinner?? mom: food. me:” above Arthur’s clenched fist.

The answer is accurate, comprehensive at the broadest possible level, and absolutely no help. The fist supplies the reply the hungry questioner probably ought not say out loud.

Screenshot of @SniperDeuceZero’s July 28, 2016 tweet: “Can you pass me my charger?” “What percent you on?” above Arthur’s fist.

A request to pass an object turns into an audit of whether the requester deserves it yet. The person asked for a cable, not a battery-percentage tribunal. The preserved tweet screenshot attributes the post to @SniperDeuceZero; that is not proof of who first made the underlying reaction image.

Embedded credits retained.; Visible tweet credited to @SniperDeuceZero (display name Peter Parker); screenshot dated July 28, 2016.

“when nobody tells you the world is gonna roll you” above Arthur’s yellow sleeve with a green Shrek-like fist edited in.

Somebody should have told you

The caption bends the opening of “All Star” into a complaint about inadequate warning. Then the edited green hand supplies the Shrek connection. The remix works twice: first as an absurd grievance, then as a crossover you recognise before anyone names it.

About & sources

A close-up of Arthur's clenched fist becomes a small, legible symbol of irritation.

Date

The clenched hand appears in Arthur's Big Hit, broadcast September 6, 1999. Know Your Meme documents a July 27, 2016 tweet by @AlmostJT describing the still as relatable; the original tweet has since been removed.

History

Cropping away most of the scene makes a children's cartoon gesture available for countless frustrating situations. The source scene includes a conflict with D.W., but captions need not preserve that plot.
