Moe Tossing Barney Meme Template

About this meme

This 3-panel template is from the 1992 The Simpsons episode "Homer’s Barbershop Quartet." In the scene, the bartender Moe Szyslak physically ejects the town drunk, Barney Gumble, from the tavern. However, before Moe can even catch his breath, Barney miraculously reappears right behind him inside the bar. In meme culture, it is the definitive visual for a problem that won't go away, a persistent annoyance, or a "fix" that immediately fails.

  • Panel 1 (Top): Moe aggressively tossing Barney out the door, representing The Solution, The Deletion, or The Final Goodbye.
  • Panel 2 (Middle): Moe dusting off his hands with a look of accomplishment, representing Satisfaction, The "Finished" Project, or Relief.
  • Panel 3 (Bottom): Barney standing right behind Moe with a dazed look, representing The Bug, The Toxic Ex, The Unread Emails, or The Persistent Reality.
