Meme lore
What is the Here's Johnny meme?
This template shows Jack Nicholson as Jack Torrance peering and grinning through a hole chopped into a door. It is used to frame a person, idea, notification, or problem as an intense, frightening, or wildly unwelcome arrival.
Origin & history
The source scene appears during Jack Torrance's pursuit of Wendy in Stanley Kubrick's adaptation of The Shining. Nicholson's face emerging through the splintered door, paired with the improvised television-introduction-style line, became one of the film's most recognizable images and was later adapted into captions about sudden, ominous, or excessive arrivals.
