You know that feeling you get sometimes where you desperately want to disappear from whatever awkward situation you just witnessed and pretend it never happened?
There's a GIF for that.
You've probably seen the GIF before, since it's become fairly ubiquitous in awkward social media situations.It's from a Simpsons episode and features the man himself, Homer.
But prepare for a little GIF-ception.
The Simpsons is well known for its social commentary, and has never been a show to take itself too seriously. So the joke didn't really come as a big surprise to many longtime fans.
Many took to Twitter to comment on the joke, largely with The Simpsons-based reaction GIFs.
The Simpsons, which began as a short on The Tracey Ullman Show, aired its first episode on December 17, 1989. This December it will mark it 30th year on television.
