Confused Travolta Meme Template

Describe the place, person, or thing you expected to find. Travolta's empty-handed gesture supplies the confusion.

A man looks around a room with one hand held out, as if someone owes him an explanation. Pair that gesture with a missing meeting, a vanished file, or instructions that don't match what's in front of you.

This page uses a still image. It works with one caption that says what you were expecting. You don't need to describe the confused expression as well; the photograph already does that.

John Travolta plays Vincent Vega in Pulp Fiction, the 1994 film. In the scene behind the meme, Vincent looks around while Mia Wallace speaks to him over an intercom. [1]

Know Your Meme records a reaction GIF on Imgur in November 2012. Later edits cut Travolta out of the scene and put him in new surroundings, including an empty classroom and a toy aisle. [1]

Name the expectation in a single line: everyone said the meeting was here, the parcel says delivered, or the recipe mentions a bowl you haven't used. The missing thing gives the gesture a reason.

You can write a question, but a situation caption is often shorter. 'Me looking for the file I just saved' leaves the image to ask where it went.

What you expected to find and can't locate.

• Keep the face and open hand visible.
• Choose one source of confusion instead of explaining the whole day.
• Use a missing expectation for this format; use a shocked face for a sudden surprise.
