About the What Is That Video Meme

A video clip of NBC reporter Julie Tsirkin on the White House lawn. Everyone else ducks for cover after hearing gunshots. Tsirkin steps out of her reporter area, pokes her head out toward the lawn, and asks "What is that?" The camera captures approximately 21 seconds of one person's complete lack of survival instincts. The audio of Tsirkin casually asking the question while everyone around her scrambles sells the absurdity in a way the freeze frame cannot.

The full video clip from the May 23, 2026 White House shooting incident. You can hear the gunshots. You can see everyone else duck and scramble for cover. And then there's NBC reporter Julie Tsirkin, stepping out of her reporter area, poking her head out, and asking "What is that?" The video makes the contrast even more absurd than the still image because you watch it happen in real time: the rational human response (hide) vs. Tsirkin's response (go see what the loud bangs are about). Approximately 21 seconds of peak natural selection energy.

How to Make a What Is That Video Meme

  1. The video plays in the preview showing the full "What is that?" moment with all the chaos intact.
  2. Add top text for your setup. The video itself is the reaction, so keep your caption short and punchy.
  3. This works best on platforms that auto-play video: X, TikTok, Discord, iMessage.
  4. The audio of her shouting adds a layer that the static versions can't match.
  5. Download the video to drop into group chats when something truly unhinged just happened.
