The AnnoyedΒ PicardΒ meme originated from a screen shot ofΒ Star Trek: The Next GenerationΒ character Captain Jean-LucΒ PicardΒ with an exasperated expression on his face. The shot was taken from the episode calledΒ βMΓ©nageΒ Γ Β Troi," which originally aired in 1990. In this scene, CaptainΒ PicardΒ is recitingΒ lines from William Shakespeare and thus is wearing an animated expression. The original meme was created in January of 2012, with the textΒ "Oh come on, you don't even know what a meme is!" AfterΒ Picard's priceless expression surfaced,Β RedditorsΒ and meme lovers alike had a field day. And so the sensation began. Whatever you do, try not to piss ofΒ Picard.Β
