What it means

What Year Is It features Robin Williams as Alan Parrish in the 1995 film Jumanji, freshly freed after twenty-six years trapped inside a board game, hair wild and face lost in time. The image became a staple reaction meme in 2011, starting with a Reddit post titled how I feel after an afternoon nap. The format is the definitive expression of temporal whiplash: the caption describes a short nap, a quick game, a brief distraction, and the bewildered face delivers the punchline that hours, days, or years have vanished. It resurges every time reality feels unreal, as it did widely during 2020, and remains the internet's favorite way to say I have lost all track of time.

When to use it

  • Waking from a nap with no sense of what day it is
  • Losing hours to a game, show, or task that felt brief
  • Reacting to how long something took or how much changed
