"Say What Again" meme originated from the film, Pulp Fiction, where Samuel Jackson, as Jules Winnfield, confronts a character, daring him to repeat his frequent response of 'what?' during an intense interrogation scene. The scene and the phrase epitomize a climactic moment where tension and dark humor meet, with Jules exerting dominance over the other character.
The meme derived from a notable scene in Pulp Fiction, a 1994 American crime film directed by Quentin Tarantino. In this scene, the character Jules Winnfield, alongside Vincent Vega, is involved in the interrogative showdown with a member of Marcellus Wallace's gang. The tension-filled exchange underscores much of the film's dark comedic and intense narrative style.[1]
