Meme lore
What is the Terminator 2 Phone Booth meme?
Terminator 2 Phone Booth uses four stacked film stills from the phone call between the T-800, John Connor, and John's foster mother. The caption sequence begins with a casual question, passes through a confirming or oddly specific phone answer, then ends with the T-800's blunt reveal. It works when an ordinary topic lets a participant unknowingly prove that something is very wrong.
Origin & history
The stills show Arnold Schwarzenegger as the T-800, Edward Furlong as John Connor, and Jenette Goldstein as Janelle Voight in Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991). In the film, the T-800 uses a phone call about John's dog to determine that the person answering is a shape-shifting T-1000 impostor.
