AboutWhat does the meme depict?
The 'I'm Tired Of This Grandpa' meme, also known as 'That's Too Damn Bad', originates from the 2003 film 'Holes'. The meme features a two-panel image macro capturing a moment from the movie. In the first panel, the character Louise Walker expressed frustration about having to dig holes in the desert to her grandfather, Charles 'Trout' Walker. The second panel shows Trout's dismissive response, 'That's too damn bad'. Initially, this scene became a base for humorous captions related to exhaustion or dissatisfaction, and later gained popularity on TikTok with the audio used in various comedic contexts.
