A blank-faced stick figure, confronted with something terrible, activates a jetpack and exits the scene entirely. The meme caught on because it captures something universally relatable: the moment you realize a situation is unsalvageable and your only move is to leave. Unlike Cereal Guy (who stays to watch), Nothing To Do Here commits to a full tactical retreat. For a more verbal version of rejecting a situation, see Grandma Finds The Internet (noping out of modern technology).","format":"classic","howToMake":["Nothing To Do Here is loaded with the jetpack primed and ready for takeoff","Top text describes the terrible situation you walked into.

Behind it, something terrible has just happened or been witnessed.

No argument, no discussion. Just propulsion away from the problem at maximum speed.","definition":"A rage comic stick figure who encounters something so bad that the only rational response is a jetpack-assisted exit.
