Meme lore
What is the Coraline's Dad at the Computer GIF meme?
Coraline's Dad is a reaction GIF template showing Coraline's father hunched at a computer in a dim room, useful for captions about exhaustion, disappointment, awkward late-night behavior, or quietly struggling through a task.
Origin & history
The scene is from Laika's 2009 stop-motion film Coraline, in which Coraline's father is shown working at a computer in the family home. The still has become a reusable reaction-GIF format, although the exact editor, first upload, and circulation timeline are unclear.
