This GIF captures Drew Scanlon blinking twice in quiet disbelief after hearing an unintentionally suggestive comment during a gaming livestream. The understated facial expression makes it a perfect shorthand for “Wait, what?” moments. Its polite confusion and perfect timing helped it transcend meme culture to become one of the most recognizable reaction GIFs ever used.

Origin:

Giant Bomb – Unprofessional Fridays (2013). The clip features editor Drew Scanlon reacting to colleague Jeff Gerstmann saying, “I’ve been doing some farming with my hoe.” Scanlon’s subtle double-blink quickly became one of the most iconic reaction GIFs on the internet.

How it’s used:

• To react to something surprising, awkward, or confusing.
• When processing absurd or unexpected statements.
• To express disbelief in a subtle, deadpan way.
• As a universal “did I hear that right?” response.
