About the Doakes Surprise Motherfucker Meme

Sergeant Doakes sits behind the steering wheel of his car, bald head catching warm sunlight, hands clasped on the wheel, eyes locked directly on the viewer with the cold, suspicious intensity of a man who knows your secret. The car interior is dim, the expression is unflinching. This is the face of someone who has been watching you this entire time.

Erik King as Sergeant James Doakes from Dexter (Showtime, 2006-2013). Doakes is the only person who suspects Dexter Morgan from the start, and his intense, unblinking surveillance stare became iconic. The "Surprise, motherfucker" line comes from Season 2 when Doakes confronts Dexter. The format works for any moment of catching someone in the act or showing up unexpectedly.
