your favorite tv/movie gifs + their origin story

[henrygandorf 29177]

i've wanted to start this thread for a while, so here we go.

post one of your favorite, often-used gifs from a tv show or movie, and explain where it comes from and what is happening to cause the gif. for example:

this gif is of wee-bey from the wire. s1e12 - "cleaning up". he has this realization/reaction when stringer tells him that the girl that got shot in the back-alley drug deal setup was actually an undercover cop (kima). before then he thought it was just "one of orlando's ho's".

go.

Use this with my boys and nephews all the time.  Bull Durham.

SNL game show skit.   Jessica Dallas-Chastain - Ron Howard’s daughter and occasional director of Mandalorian episodes.  
 

Tombstone, Johnny Ringo’s comments about the death of an Earp.  appropriate for when somebody says or does something that crosses a line but is still funny.  Usually death-related.

Survivor TV show.  Not sure of the context because I don’t watch such shows, but I think @Deej and I came to the conclusion that it was the perfect gif for Shaggy and now Surly, with the women representing polite society and the guy representing Shaggy/Surly when something awful happens that we find funny but we know society doesn’t.

[Deej 76568]

Best gif ever.

[Sbbruin 21737]

What's the origin of this one?  One of my faves

[mdmost 42865]

Heathers. A fairly fitting response to some of the questions asked on this site.

These three were split off from their original "tribe"/allies.  The girls are reacting to the fact that one of their friends/allies had been voted off in the previous tribal council.  The dude, is obviously happy about this outcome.  I'm pretty sure that's the context.

When a post hits too close to home and I'm ashamed of that.

Or for, I'm out.

One of the Amazing Races.  Pretty self-explanatory.

[Knoxtnhorn 5936]

I've texted this to my son at least 30 times in the last two years during our high school and/or Cowboy games.  I actually don't recall the context.  Halp!

Apparently a scene from the Tipper Gore era movie "Youth Suicide Fantasy."

Like why wasn't he one of the Multiverse Spidey's that showed up in Spider-Man: No Way Home alongside Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield?

Prompted by her Dad rhetorically asking "I don't know why I smoke these things."

Probably from some kid's show where the mom and dad are trying to get a night out on the town without the kids in tow and they finally pull it off.
